PROGRAM:
NAME
starpkg - convert a StarPlot data set to StarPlot file format
SYNOPSIS
starpkg [ --dataset ] data-set [ --dest destination ]
starpkg --recurse input-dir [ --dest destination ]
DESCRIPTION
On the StarPlot web site are available some packages of data that include both an original
data file from NASA, and also a specification file. These packages are referred to as
"data sets", from which starconvert(1) can produce a data file in StarPlot format. For
ease of use, this should be done via the starpkg shell script.
USAGE
Assuming that data-set is a valid StarPlot data set (either in tar.gz format or a
directory resulting from uncompressing the tar.gz file), the `starpkg --dataset' command
converts it to a StarPlot-formatted data file. Note that the `--dataset' flag is
optional, and the name of the input data set may be specified without it. In order to be
a valid StarPlot data set, a directory or tar.gz file must contain at least a valid
specification file whose name ends with `.spec' and a flat text data file named
`catalog.dat'.
If the `--dest' option is omitted, the default location of the output file is the first of
the directories /usr/share/starplot, $PWD, $HOME in which the user has write permissions.
If `--dest' is omitted or destination is a directory, the name of the output file will by
default be ${specfilename%.spec}.stars. For instance, a data set containing gliese.3.spec
will produce a file named gliese.3.stars.
The `starpkg --recurse' form of the command executes the above action for every StarPlot
data set contained in input-dir, placing the resulting StarPlot data files to the
directory destination. (If the --dest option is omitted, the default destination
directory is chosen as above.) This form of the starpkg command is most useful when a new
version of StarPlot has been installed and you wish to regenerate all StarPlot data files
from data sets using the new starconvert program.
OPTIONS
--dataset, -s
Specify a directory or tar.gz file to use as a StarPlot data set.
--dest, -d
Specify the file or directory in which to output StarPlot-format data files.
--quiet, -q
Print only fatal errors to the terminal.
--recurse, -r
Specify a directory in which to search for StarPlot data sets.
--starconvert-option option
Pass option through to starconvert. If you wish to pass more than one option (or
an option that takes a following argument), you should give this flag multiple
times, once for each starconvert option or argument.
--verbose, -v
Print all starconvert output to the terminal.
