11       DESCRIPTION
12
13              Copies  the  content of GRIB files printing values of some keys.
14              If the name of the output_grib_file contains a key  enclosed  in
15              square brackets, its value will be used.
16
17       USAGE
18
19              grib_copy [options] grib_file grib_file ... output_grib_file
20
21       OPTIONS
22
23       -f     Force. Force the execution not to fail on error.
24
25       -r     Repack data. Sometimes after setting some keys involving proper‐
26              ties of the packing algorithm a repacking  of  data  is  needed.
27              This repacking is performed setting this -r option.
28
29       -p key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],...
30
31              Declaration  of keys to print.  For each key a string (key:s), a
32              double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be requested.  De‐
33              fault type is string.
34
35       -P key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],...
36
37              As -p adding the declared keys to the default list.
38
39       -w key[:{s|d|i}]{=|!=}value,key[:{s|d|i}]=value,...
40
41              Where  clause.   Only  GRIB messages matching the key/value con‐
42              straints are copied to the output_grib_file.  A valid constraint
43              is  of  type  key=value  or  key!=value.   For each key a string
44              (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be  de‐
45              fined.  Default  type  is string.  In the value you can also use
46              the forward-slash character '/' to specify an OR condition (i.e.
47              a logical disjunction) Note: only one -w clause is allowed.
48
49       -B 'order by' directive
50
51              Order by. The output will be ordered according to the 'order by'
52              directive.  Example: "step:i asc, centre desc" (step numeric as‐
53              cending and centre descending) Default sort mode is 'asc'
54
55       -V     Version.
56
57       -W width
58
59              Minimum width of each column in output. Default is 10.
60
61       -M     Multi-field support off. Turn off support for multiple fields in
62              a single GRIB message.
63
64       -T T | B | M | A
65              Message type. T->GTS, B->BUFR, M->METAR  (Experimental),  A->Any
66              (Experimental).   The input file is interpreted according to the
67              message type.
68
69       -g     Copy GTS header.
70
71       -G     GRIBEX compatibility mode.
72
73       -7     Does not fail when the message has wrong length
74
75       -X offset
76
77              Input file offset in bytes. Processing of the  input  file  will
78              start from the given offset.
79
80       -v     Verbose.
