This is version 3.1 of l2extract (compiled on Nov 14 2024 12:14:30) l2extract 3.1 (Nov 14 2024 12:13:34) Usage: l2extract argument-list or: l2extract ifile spix epix sline eline pix_sub sc_sub ofile <prodlist> This program takes a product (or products if netCDF output) from an L2 file and does the extraction The argument list is a set of keyword=value pairs. Arguments can be specified on the command line, or put into a parameter file, or the two methods can be used together, with command line overriding. 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) = input parameter file ifile (ifile) = input L2 filename ofile (ofile) (default=output) = output filename product (string) = comma separated list of products, empty string outputs all all products spix (int) (default=1) = start pixel number (1-based). epix (int) (default=-1) = end pixel number. -1 = last pixel (1-based). sline (int) (default=1) = start line (1-based). eline (int) (default=-1) = end line. -1 = last line (1-based). suite (string) = suite for default parameters verbose (boolean) (default=false) = more information reporting wavelist (string) = comma separated list of 3D wavelengths and/or colon separated nnn:nnn range of wavelengths, empty string outputs all 3D wavelengths (i.e. wavelist=353,355,358,360,360:370,450:600,700)
