mgd77path − Get full pathname for MGD77 files |
mgd77path NGDC-ids [ −D ] [ −Iignore ] |
mgd77path returns the full pathname to one or more MGD77 files. The pathname returned for a given cruise may change with time due to reshuffling of disks/subdirectories. |
NGDC-ids |
Can be one or more MGD77 8-character cruise identifiers. To give a list of names, use ‘cat cruises.lis‘. The ".mgd77" or ".nc" extensions will automatically be appended, if needed (use −I to ignore certain file types). Cruise files will be looked for first in the current directory and second in all directories listed in $MGD77_HOME/mgd77_paths.txt [If $MGD77_HOME is not set it will default to $GMTHOME/share/mgd77]. |
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. |
−D |
Instead of cruise listings, just show the directory paths currently used in the search. |
||
−I |
Ignore certain data file formats from consideration. Append a|c|t to ignore MGD77 ASCII, MGD77+ netCDF, or plain tab-separated ASCII table files, respectively. The option may be repreated to ignore more than one format. [Default ignores none]. |
