DESCRIPTION

The orbdlstat2xml program reads packets of type .*/pf/st from an Antelope orbserver, converts them to a simple eXtensible Markup Language (XML) representation, and places the results in the specified directory dir.

OPTIONS

FILES

Regular packets are converted to XML files named after the packet sourcenames (without the .*/pf/st suffix/subcode extension). Stash packets for each source name are saved under the same name with _stash appended. orbdlstat2xml creates temporary files of the xml output under the target names with '+' signs appended, then moves them to the final target names when the files are complete. This back-buffering is intended to prevent partially built files from corrupting the web interfaces built on them.

EXAMPLE

% orbdlstat2xml anfops.ucsd.edu:status /scr/day &

% ls /scr/day

/scr/day:
pretadata.xml
pretadata_stash.xml
tadataAG.xml
tadataAG_stash.xml
tadataHN.xml
tadataHN_stash.xml
tadataOU.xml
tadataOU_stash.xml
tadataV2.xml
tadataV2_stash.xml

BUGS AND CAVEATS

orbdlstat2xml will translate the string field opt, if present in the input parameter file, into the five fields acok, api, isp1, isp2, and ti. If any of those string fields are present in the value of opt, the corresponding added parameter will be assigned a value of 1. If opt is present and non-null but does not contain the name of the new parameter, the newly added parameter will be assigned a value of 0. If opt is missing or null ("-") for a given station in an input parameter file, these five new parameters will be set to "-".
