NAME
       metafsrc2raw.pl - convert data from different sources to standard
       format

SYNOPSIS
        metafsrc2raw.pl -F<format> [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       This script is an example interface to the Perl module
       "metaf2xml::src2raw".  It converts METAR, TAF, SYNOP, BUOY or AMDAR
       information provided in files on various public Internet servers to
       messages delimited by a newline and in the format specified by the WMO
       Manual No. 306, without modifications due to distribution like
       providing the initial part of messages only once for several messages,
       or appending an "=" (equal sign) to terminate a message.  It prepends
       parts of the WMO header according to the option -H.  The output can
       then be used by the module "metaf2xml::parser".

       If no input files are specified, then the standard input is read.

DEPENDENCIES
       The Perl module "metaf2xml::src2raw" is required.

OPTIONS
       -v  print version of metafsrc2raw.pl and exit

       -F format
           origin of the input data: for allowed values and their meaning see
           the parameter "format" in metaf2xml::src2raw(3pm)

       -D  suppress duplicate messages

       -N  suppress messages that only contain "NIL"

       -H 0..5
           which parts of the WMO header ("TTAA[II] CCCC DDHHMM [BBB]") to
           prepend to each message: for allowed values and their meaning see
           the parameter "wmo_prefix" in metaf2xml::src2raw(3pm)

ARGUMENTS
       Names for input files can be given as arguments. If no arguments are
       given, input is read from standard input.

EXIT STATUS
       If an invalid option was provided, or the option -F was not provided,
       or the function start_file() in metaf2xml::src2raw(3pm) returned an
       error, the script will exit with status 1, otherwise it will exit with
       status 0.

EXAMPLES
       Parse SYNOP messages from NOAA/NWS, suppressing NIL messages and
       duplicates:

        metafsrc2raw.pl -DNF synop_nws << "EOF"
