Previous Chapter Appendix A: Command Usage
Usage:
burtconvertsnap snap {-l logfile} {-o outfile} {-v} {-sdds or -nosdds}
Where:
-
snap
-
Snapshot filename. This is the only switch that is not optional. You must
specify exactly one snapshot file. This is the snapshot file that will be
converted.
-
-l logfile
-
Log filename. The name of the file where all logging messages (e.g. error
messages) go. The default is stderr.
-
-o outfile
-
Output snapshot filename. This is where the newly generated converted
snapshot file will be placed. The default is stdout.
-
-v
-
Verbose. This increases the amount of information displayed in the logfile.
-
-sdds or -nosdds
-
SDDS/non-SDDS snapshot file. Explicitly specifying that the gen
erated snapshot file will be SDDS/non-SDDS compliant. The default is to
produce whatever the input snapshot file is not.
Usage:
burtmath (snap1 snap2 {-add or -sub}) or (snap1 -mult m) {-l logfile} {-o outfile}
{-v} {-c ... comments ...} {-k keyword1 ... keywordn} {-sdds or -nosdds}
Where:
-
snap1 snap2 {-add or -sub}
- Adding/subtracting snapshots. Here you wish to either
add or subtract exactly two snapshot files. You must specify exactly two snapshot
files when performing. either addition or subtraction. The default operation is
sub (subtraction).
-
snap1 -mult m
-
Multiplying snapshots. Here you wish to multiply all the values in
snap1 by multiplication factor m.
-
-l logfile
-
Log file name. The name of the file where all logging messages (e.g. error
messages, reports of process variables that were not found) go. The default is
stderr.

-
-k keyword1 ... keywordn

Keywords. Adds keywords to the header of the result file.
-
-sdds or -nosdds
-
SDDS/non-SDDS snapshot file. Explicitly specifying that the gen
erated snapshot file will be SDDS/non-SDDS compliant. The default is to adopt
the SDDS type from the input(s). If there is a heterogenous set of inputs (some
SDDS and some non-SDDS), the default is to produce and SDDS compliant
snapshot file.
Usage:
burtrb -f req1 {req2 ...} {-l logfile} {-o outfile} {-d} {-v} {-c ... comments ...}
{-k keyword1 ... keywordn} {-r retry count} {-sdds or -nosdds}
Where:
-
-f req1 {req2 ...}
-
Request file names. This is the only switch that is not optional. You
must specify at least one request file.
-
-l logfile
-
Log file name. The name of the file where all logging messages (e.g. error
messages, reports of process variables that were not found) go. The default is
stderr.
-
-o outfile
-
Snapshot file name. The name of the file where the snapshot information
goes. The default is stdout.
-
-d
-
Debug. Save the files created by processing the request files with the C preproces
sor. The default is to delete these files.
-
-v
-
Verbose. This increases the amount of information displayed in the logfile.
-
-c ...comments ...
-
Comments. Adds comments to the header of the snapshot file.
-
-k keyword1 ... keywordn
-
Keywords. Adds keywords to the header of the snapshot
file.
-
-r retry count
-
Number of additional attempts to wait for connections. The program
will attempt to find all the process variables. If it is unsuccessful, it will try this
many more times to establish connections. The default value is 0.
-
-sdds or -nosdds
-
SDDS/non-SDDS snapshot file. Explicitly specifying that the gen
erated snapshot file will be SDDS/non-SDDS compliant. The default is to adopt
the SDDS type from the input(s). If there is a heterogenous set of inputs (some
SDDS and some non-SDDS), the default is to produce an SDDS compliant snap
shot file.
Usage:
burtset -f req1 req2 {-union or -inter or -diff} {-l logfile} {-o outfile} {-d} {-v} {-sdds or -nosdds}
Where:
-
-f req1 req2
-
Request filenames. This is the only switch that is not optional. You must
specify at least two request files.
-
-union or -inter or -diff
-
Set operation. The set operation (union, intersection, or dif
ference) to be performed on the two request files. The default is union.
-
-l logfile
-
Log file name. The name of the file where all logging messages (e.g. error
messages) go. The default is stderr.
-
-o outfile
-
Request file name. The name of the file where the result of the set operation
goes. The default is stdout.
-
-d
-
Debug. Save the files created by processing the request files with the C preproces
sor. The default is to delete these files.
-
-v
-
Verbose. This increases the amount of information displayed in the logfile.
-
-sdds or -nosdds
-
SDDS/non-SDDS snapshot file. Explicitly specifying that the gen
erated snapshot file will be SDDS/non-SDDS compliant. The default is to adopt
the SDDS type from the inputs. If there is a heterogenous set of inputs (one
SDDS and the other non-SDDS), the default is to produce and SDDS compliant
snapshot file.
Usage:
burtwb -f snap1 {snap2 ...} {-l logfile} {-o outfile} {-c ... comments ...}
{-k keyword1 ... keywordn} {-d} {-v} {-p dep1 ... depn} {-r retry count}
{-add} {-replace} {-sdds or -nosdds}
Where:
-
-f snap1 {snap2 ...}
-
Snapshot file names. This is the only switch that is not optional.
You must specify at least one snapshot file.
-
-l logfile
-
Log file name. The name of the file where all logging messages (e.g. error
messages, reports of process variables that were not found) go. The default is
stderr.
-
-o outfile
-
Snapshot file name. If any of the snapshot files Read Only Notify values,
this file is created and those values are placed there. If none of the snapshot files

-
-c ... comments ...
-
Comments. Adds comments to the header of the snapshot file.
-
-k keyword1 ... keywordn

file.
-
-d
-

cessor. The default is to delete these files.
-
-v
-
Verbose. This increases the amount of information displayed in the logfile.
-
-p dep1 ... depn
-
Dependency file names. The names of the dependency files contain
ing predicates (Boolean conditions) to be evaluated before writing the values
from the snapshot files.
-
-r retry count
-
Number of additional attempts to wait for connections. The program
will attempt to find all the process variables. If it is unsuccessful, it will try this
many more times to establish connections. The default value is 0.
-
-add
-
Absolute snapshots written as adds. All the absolute snapshots, i.e.,
those taken directly off IOCs, will be written as additions to the values
found on the IOCs. The default is to write the absolute snapshots as
replacement values on the IOCs.
-
-replace
-
Relative snapshots written as replacements. All the relative snapshots, i.e.,
those generated by adding or subtracting two snapshots, will be written to
replace the values on the IOCs. The default is to write the relative snapshots
as additions to the values on the IOCs.
