LALFR-STAT(1)

NAME
lalfr-stat -- briefly describe frame files

SYNOPSIS
lalfr-stat [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

The lalfr-stat utility displays information about the file pointed to by file. If file is a single dash (`-') or absent, lalfr-stat reads from the standard input. For each file, lalfr-stat writes to standard output a line containing five columns. The first column contains the detector site information for all detector structures contained in file. The second column contains a file description that is parsed from the file name. The third column contains the GPS second that is equal to or just before the beginning of the data contained in file. The fourth column contains an integer duration in seconds such that the sum of columns three and four gives a GPS time after the data contained in the file. The fifth column contains the URL of the file. If any of the above data is missing or unknown, the value in the column is given by ``-''.

EXAMPLE

The command:

    lalfr-stat *.gwf > cache

will produce a standard LAL cache file cache describing all the frames in the current directory.
