l2bin 7.1.0 (Nov 14 2024 12:14:51)
7.1.0
Usage: l2bin argument-list

  The argument-list is a set of keyword=value pairs. The arguments can
  be specified on the commandline, or put into a parameter file, or the
  two methods can be used together, with commandline over-riding.

  return value: 0=OK, 1=error, 110=north,south,east,west does not intersect
  file data.

The list of valid keywords follows:

   help (boolean) (alias=h) (default=false) = print usage information
   version (boolean) (default=false) = print the version
        information
   dump_options (boolean) (default=false) = print
        information about each option
   dump_options_paramfile (ofile) = print
        information about each option to paramfile
   dump_options_xmlfile (ofile) = print
        information about each option to XML file
   par (ifile) (alias=parfile) = input parameter file
   ifile (ifile) (alias=infile) = input L2 file name

   verbose (boolean) (default=off) = Allow more verbose screen messages
   night (boolean) (default=off) = set to 1 for SST night processing
   qual_max (int) (default=2) = maximum acceptable quality
   rowgroup (int) (default=-1) = # of bin rows to process at once.
   sday (int) (default=1970001) = start datadate (YYYYDDD) [ignored for "regional" prodtype]
   eday (int) (default=2038018) = end datadate (YYYYDDD) [ignored for "regional" prodtype]
   latnorth (float) (default=90) = northern most latitude
   latsouth (float) (default=-90) = southern most latitude

        Use ':' or ',' or ' ' as delimiters.
        Use ';' or '=' to delineate minimum values.
   area_weighting (int) (default=0) = Enable area weighting
