NAME

       getdap4 - test driver for the libdap library DAP4 protocol


SYNOPSIS

       getdap4 [dD vVikmzst] [-c expr ] [-m num ] url ...

       getdap4 [-VvksM] file ...


DESCRIPTION

       getdap4 A command line interface for DAP4, the follow-on to DAP2.
       While getdap can be used to access DAP2 response objects and process
       those responses with the libdap client-side software, getdap4 fills the
       same role for DAP4.

       In the first form of the command, dereference the URL and perform the
       requested operations. This includes routing the returned information
       through the DAP processing library (parsing the returned objects, et
       c.). If neither of d or D are used with a URL, then the DAP library
       routines are NOT used and the URLs contents are dumped to standard
       output.

       In the second form of the command, assume the files are DAP4 Data
       objects (stored in files or read from pipes) and process them as if -D
       were given. In this case the information must contain valid MIME header
       in order to be processed or -M should be used.


OPTIONS

       -i     For each URL, get the server version.

       -d     For each URL, get the the DAP4 DMR response.

       -D     For each URL, get the the DAP4 Data response.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -V     Version of this client; see 'i' for server version.

       -c expr
              expr is a constraint expression. Used with -D/X.  You can use a
              `?' for the CE also.

       -k     Keep temporary files created by libdap.

       -m num Request the same URL num times

       -z     Ask the server to compress data.

       -s     Print Sequences using numbered rows.

       -M     Assume data read from a file has no MIME headers (the default is
              to assume the headers are present).


FILES

       ~/.dodsrc
              The .dodsrc file contains various parameters that affect the
              runtime behavior for DAP clients.  See dodsrc(5) for further
              details.


ENVIRONMENT

       DODS_CONF
              Specifies an alternate file or directory for the .dodsrc file.


DIAGNOSTICS

       Various self-explanatory messages may be issued on stderr.


BUGS

       The command name should have been chosen more carefully to reflect its
       purpose.

       The dodsrc man page needs to be written.
