## NAME

           binlegs - Maintain the GMT-SYSTEM index files

## SYNOPSIS

           binlegs leglistfile [ -R ] [ -D ] [ -Ppath ] [ -V ]

## DESCRIPTION

           binlegs   will   make  changes  to  the  GMT-SYSTEM  files
           gmt_legs.d and gmt_index.b for  the  legs  listed  in  the
           leglistfile.  Normally,  only the data archivist will need
           to be concerned with these operations.

           leglistfile
                  Contains the list of legs to be worked on.

## OPTIONS

           No space between the option flag and the associated  argu
           ments

           -R     Replace the current information if a leg already is
                  in the system. [Default is append].

           -D     Delete information for these legs from  the  system
                  index files.

           -P     Set   the   path   to   where  the  gmt_legs.d  and
                  gmt_index.b   files   reside.   [Default   is   the
                  $GMTHOME/lib.mgg directory].

           -V     Selects  verbose  mode,  which  will  send progress
                  reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

## EXAMPLES

           To add new cruises to the system, try

           binlegs newlegs.lis -V -P/usr/lib/gmt

           To remove bad legs from the system, try

           binlegs badlegs.lis -D -V -P/usr/lib/gmt
