NAME
       artsprotoagg - utility to aggregate protocol table objects in time
       domain

SYNOPSIS
       artsprotoagg [-v] [-i ifIndexList] [-I ifIndexList]
                    [-h hours] [-o] [-q] outfile infile(s)

DESCRIPTION
       artsprotoagg is a utility that reads protocol table objects from ARTS
       files (infile(s)) and aggregates them in the time domain, placing the
       resulting protocol table object(s) into an output file (outfile).

OPTIONS
       -v     The -v option causes artsprotoagg to print version information
              and exit immediately.

       -i ifIndexList
              The -i ifIndexList option may be used to select only data which
              contains an interface index attribute in ifIndexList.  In other
              words, the -i ifIndexList option lets you select data from
              particular interfaces or sets of interfaces.  ifIndexList may
              contain hyphens (indicating an inclusive range) and commas.  For
              example, -i 1,2,5-8 would select data with an interface index
              attribute of 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 or 8.

       -I ifIndexList
              The -I ifIndexList option may be used to combine data which
              contains an interface index attribute in ifIndexList.  In other
              words, the -I ifIndexList option lets you combine data across a
              set of interfaces.  ifIndexList may contain hyphens (indicating
              an inclusive range) and commas.  For example, -I 1,2,5-8 would
              combine all data with an interface index attribute of 1, 2, 5,
              6, 7 or 8.  The resulting aggregate objects will contain an
              interface index attribute of 0.

       -h hours
              The -h hours option may be used to specify the period of
              aggregation, in hours.  The hours argument accepts a decimal
              value to permit aggregation by fractional hour values.  When the
              -h hours option is not used, artsprotoagg will write a single
              protocol table object for the entire time interval seen in
              infile(s) to outfile.

       -o     By default, artsprotoagg appends to the output file, so you may
              accumlate aggregate protocol table objects in a single file over
              multiple invocations of artsprotoagg.  You may override this
              behavior with the -o option.  This will cause artsprotoagg to
              overwrite the output file instead of appending to it.

       -q     By default, artsprotoagg prints a '.' for each protocol table
              object it reads and prints a '+' for each object it writes.  You
              may suppress this behavior with the -q (quiet) option.

       artsprotoagg -h 1.0 /tmp/proto1hr.19980821 arts.19980821
