Utility program for fetching info from BUFR tables.
Execute without arguments for Usage, with option "--help" for some
additional info. See also <https://wiki.met.no/bufr.pm/start> for
examples of use.
It is supposed that the code and flag tables are contained in a file with same
name as corresponding B table except for having prefix C instead of B. The
tables used can be chosen by the user with options "--bufrtable" and
"--tablepath". Default is the hard coded DEFAULT_TABLE in directory
DEFAULT_TABLE_PATH, but this last one will be overriden if the environment
variable BUFR_TABLES is set. You should consider edit the source code if you
are not satisfied with the defaults chosen.
--partial Expand D descriptors only once, ignoring replication
--simple Like --partial, but displaying the resulting
descriptors on one line
--noexpand Don't expand D descriptors at all
--bufrtable <name of BUFR B or D table> Set BUFR tables
--tablepath <path to BUFR tables> Set BUFR table path
--verbose n Display path and tables used if n > 0
--help Display Usage and explain the options used. Almost
the same as consulting perldoc bufrresolve.pl
Usage 1): Resolves the given descriptor(s) fully into table B descriptors, with
name, unit, scale, reference value and width (in bits) written on each line
(except for --simple). --partial, --simple and --noexpand are mutually
exclusive (full expansion is default).
Usage 2): Prints the contents of the requested code or flag table (named by the
table B descriptor).
Usage 3): Displays the bits set when the data value for the requested flag table
is <value>.
Options may be abbreviated, e.g. "--h" or "-h" for
"--help"
n > 1 in "--verbose n" does not provide any more output than n=1,
so demanding an argument to "--verbose" looks funny. But if not,
sooner or later someone would type "bufrresolve.pl 307080 --verbose
1" which by Perl would be interpreted as if the arguments were
"307080 000001 --verbose", which probably is not what the user
intended.
