Command Line Usage

 
Usage: 
    multilevel_processor [options] parameter_file

    The parameter_file is similar to, but not exactly like, parameter
    files for OCSSW processing programs:
     - It has sections separated by headers which are denoted by "["
        and "]".
    The section named "main" is required.  Its allowed options are:
        ifile - Required entry naming the input file(s) to be processed.
        use_ancillary - use near real time ancillary data
        deletefiles - delete all the intermediate data files genereated
        overwrite - overwrite any data files which already exist
        use_existing  - use any data files which already exist

        Simultaneous use of both the overwrite and use_existing options
        is not permitted.

    The names for other sections are the programs for which that section's
    entries are to be applied.  Intermediate sections which are required for the
    final level of processing do not need to be defined if their default options
    are acceptable.  A section can be empty.  The final level of processing
    must have a section header, even if no entries appear within that section.
     - Entries within a section appear as key=value.  Comma separated lists of
    values can be used when appropriate.
     - Comments are marked by "#"; anything appearing on a line after that
    character is ignored.  A line beginning with a "#" is completely ignored.

    In addition to the main section, the following sections are allowed:
        Section name:           Applicable Instrument(s):
        -------------           -------------------------
        level 1a:               modis
        geo:                    hawkeye, modis, viirs
        l1aextract:             modis, seawifs, viirs
        l1brsgen:               general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        level 1b:               general, goci, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l2gen:                  general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l2extract:              general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l2brsgen:               general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l2bin:                  general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l3bin:                  general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs
        l3mapgen:               general, goci, hawkeye, meris, modis, seawifs, viirs

    Example:

    # Sample par file for multilevel_processor.
    [main]
    ifile=2010345034027.L1A_LAC
    [l2gen]
    l2prod=chlor_a
    # final processing level
