BINLEGS(l)

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 arguments

-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
