NAME
verseed
- Verify an FDSN SEED format
volume
SYNOPSIS
verseed -{1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | r} [filename]
OPTIONS
The following options may be selected:
-1 through 4
Set the verify reporting level. Each higher number yields successively
more detailed error information.
-r Relax the verify reporting level. With the -r flag
verseed will not report on some minor discrepancies.
verseed reads from the input tape (or other input file
or stdin) in the format defined by the Federation of Digital Seismographic
Networks (FDSN), popularly known as the Standard for Exchange
of Earthquake Data (SEED). According to the command line function
option specified by the user, verseed will read the volume
and verify its contents.
The source code is written in such a way that it will run, with
recompilation, on both big-endian (e.g., Sun) and little-endian
machines (e.g., VAX) under UNIX. This program has not yet been
tested under VAX VMS.
DIAGNOSTICS
Various warnings and error messages are issued to the standard
error device by the program. Typical response of the program to
a warning or error condition is to write a message to the standard
error device and then to continue execution.
EXAMPLES
1. Verify the volume from a tape.
- verseed /dev/rmt8 > verify.messages
verifies the volume from the tape on device /dev/rmt8 with the
messages going into a file called verify.messages; the job is
run in the background (command line example). Output directed
to "stderr", such as error messages, comes to the terminal.
2. reading volume from stdin
- verseed < seed.vol &
3. Verify a volume with command line file name and options set.
- verseed seed.data -1 &
reads a volume on disk and writes a more detailed list of the
errors to the terminal. The job is run in the background.
