NAME

     binlegs - Maintain the GMT-SYSTEM index files


SYNOPSIS

     binlegs leglistfile [ -R ] [ -D ] [ -Ppath ] [ -V ]


DESCRIPTION

     binlegs will make changes to the GMT-SYSTEM files gmt_legs.d
     and  gmt_index.b  for  the  legs  listed in the leglistfile.
     Normally, only the data archivist will need to be  concerned
     with these operations.

     leglistfile
          Contains the list of legs to be worked on.


OPTIONS

     No space between the option flag and  the  associated  argu-
     ments


     -R   Replace the current information if a leg already is  in
          the system.  [Default is append].

     -D   Delete information for these legs from the system index
          files.

     -P   Set the path to where the  gmt_legs.d  and  gmt_index.b
          files  reside.  [Default is the $GMTHOME/lib.mgg direc-
          tory].

     -V   Selects verbose mode, which will send progress  reports
          to stderr [Default runs "silently"].


EXAMPLES

     To add new cruises to the system, try

     binlegs newlegs.lis -V -P/usr/lib/gmt

     To remove bad legs from the system, try

     binlegs badlegs.lis -D -V -P/usr/lib/gmt
