    NAME

    mbhsdump - lists the information contained in Hydrosweep DS data files.

    VERSION

    Version 5.0

    SYNOPSIS

    mbhsdump [-Fformat -Iinfile -Okind -V -H]

    DESCRIPTION

    mbhsdump lists the information contained in data records on
    Hydrosweep DS data files, including survey, calibrate, water velocity
    and comment records. The default input stream is stdin. Prior to version 5.4
    this program was named hsdump.

    OPTIONS

    -F

    format

    Sets the format for the input and output swath sonar data using
    MBIO integer format identifiers.
    This program is specific to Hydrosweep DS data, and cannot be used
    with data from any other swath sonar system or with data in a Hydrosweep
    format that does not include water velocity records. Currently, the two formats
    which can be used are the raw Hydrosweep DS format (MBIO id 21)
    and the L-DEO in-house binary Hydrosweep format (MBIO id 24).
    Default: format = 5.
    -H

    This "help" flag causes the program to print out a description
    of its operation and then exit immediately.
    -I

    infile

    Data file from which the input data will be read. If
    no input file is specified, the input will be read
    from stdin. Default: infile = stdin.
    -O

    kind

    Sets the kind of data record which will be listed, where the choices
    for kind include:

            1:      Survey data record

            2:      Comment record

            3:      Calibrate data record

            4:      Mean velocity data record

            5:      Velocity profile data record

            6:      Standby data record

            7:      Navigation source data record

    This option can be given multiple times to set more than one
    kind of data record for listing.
    -V

    Normally, mbhsdump lists only the contents of the data records
    which are specified with the -O option.  If the
    -V flag is given, then mbhsdump works in a "verbose" mode and
    outputs the program version being used, any comment records encountered
    in the data stream, and all error status messages.

    EXAMPLES

    Suppose one wishes to list out the water velocity records
    contained in the raw Hydrosweep (format 21) file hsraw.
    The following will suffice:

            mbhsdump -F21 -O4 -O5 -Ihsraw

    BUGS

    Other than the name change, this program hasn't been altered in this century.
    It is probably stale.
