PROGRAM:
NAME
mArchiveList - Retrieve a list of archive images from the IRSA server
SYNOPSIS
mArchiveList survey band object|location width height outfile
DESCRIPTION
Given a location on the sky, archive name, and size in degrees, contact the IRSA server to
retrieve a list of archive images. The list contains enough information to support
mArchiveGet downloads.
ARGUMENTS
survey Can be one of:
2MASS
DSS
SDSS
DPOSS
band Case insensitive - can be one of:
(2MASS) j, h, k
(SDSS) u, g, r, i, z
(DPOSS) f, j, n
(DSS) DSS1, DSS1R, DSS1B, DSS2, DSS2B, DSS2R, DSS2IR
object|location
Object name or coordinate string to be resolved by NED (if string includes spaces,
must be surrounded by double quotes)
width Width of area of interest, in degrees
height Height of area of interest, in degrees
outfile
Path to output table
RESULT
[struct stat="OK", count=num-images]
outfile is an ASCII table of image metadata for the region and survey of interest. The
last column in the table is a URL that mArchiveGet can use to retrieve the image.
MESSAGES
OK [struct stat="OK", count=num-files]
ERROR Can't open output file outfile
ERROR Error message from IRSA's ImgList service

EXAMPLES
To retrieve metadata and file handles for 2MASS J-band images, covering a half-degree by
half-degree area around m31:
mArchiveList 2mass j m31 0.5 0.5 2mass_m31_j.tbl
[struct stat="OK", count=18]
Output file: 2mass_m31_j.tbl.
To retrieve GPFS file handles for SDSS u-band images:
mArchiveList -s gpfs sdss u m101 0.2 0.2 sdss_m101_u.tbl
[struct stat="OK", count=16]
Output file: sdss_m101_u.tbl.
