DESCRIPTION

Simple utility program that utilizes the taup library (see tttaup(3)) routines to produce parameter file tables used by genloc library routines for the "uniform table interpolation" travel time function (see genloc_intro(3)). This table is written to stdout. The only required argument is "phase" which is the seismic phase the table is to be computed for. This must be a phase the taup library knows about, which currently excludes some exotic teleseismic arrivals. It can also be a "generic" phase like P or S, which means it will select the first arrival P and S at any distances.

Options are as follows:

DIAGNOSTICS

All errors are written to stderr. The complete list is:

Unrecognized argument->xxx --- Error in argument lists

Fatal: cannot alloc memory --- Almost surely means -nz was given as an absurdly large value.

Fatal error trying to call taup library --- The taup calculation function returned a nondescript error.

taup_convert (Warning): tt_taup_slowness found no arrivals at delta =xxxxxxx, depth = xxxxxxxx --- Usually means you asked for something incorrect (like S waves in the core shadow).

Any other message indicate a library routine.
