SYNOPSIS

bufr_reencode.pl <file containing decoded BUFR message(s)>
     [--outfile <file to print encoded BUFR message(s) to>]
     [--width n]
     [--strict_checking n]
     [--tablepath <path to BUFR tables>]
     [--verbose n]
     [--help]

DESCRIPTION

Encode BUFR messages from a file containing decoded BUFR messages from bufrread.pl (possibly edited). Prints to STDOUT unless option --outfile is used.

Execute without arguments for Usage, with option --help for some additional info.

See "OPTIONS" for normal use.

OPTIONS

Bufr_reencode.pl will create BUFR message(s) printed to STDOUT from content of input file, which should match exactly what you would get by running bufrread.pl on the final BUFR message(s).

Normal use:

bufr_reencode.pl bufr.decoded > reencoded.bufr

after first having done

bufrread.pl 'BUFR file' > bufr.decoded
Edit file bufr.decoded as desired

Options (may be abbreviated, e.g. --h or -h for --help):

--outfile <filename>  Will print encoded BUFR messages to <filename>
                      instead of STDOUT
--width n             The decoded message(s) was created by using
                      bufrread.pl with option --width n
--strict_checking n   n=0 Disable strict checking of BUFR format
                      n=1 Issue warning if (recoverable) error in
                          BUFR format
                      n=2 (default) Croak if (recoverable) error in BUFR format.
                          Nothing more in this message will be encoded.
--verbose n           Set verbose level to n, 0<=n<=3 (default 0).
                      Verbose output is sent to STDOUT, so ought to
                      be combined with option --outfile
--tablepath <path to BUFR tables>
                      If used, will set path to BUFR tables. If not set,
                      will fetch tables from the environment variable
                      BUFR_TABLES, or if this is not set: will use
                      DEFAULT_TABLE_PATH hard coded in source code.
--help                Display Usage and explain the options used. Almost
                      the same as consulting perldoc bufrencode.pl

CAVEAT

'Optional section present' in section 1 of BUFR message will always be set to 0, as reencode_message in Geo::BUFR currently does not provide encoding of section 2. A warning will be printed to STDERR if 'Optional section present' originally was 1.
