Example Output

Overview

The ghETN is a utility program to output the maximum ETN found in the VTEC active table for a specified office, phenenomenon, and significance. For further information on the meaning of the codes within the VTEC active table, refer to the GFESuite VTEC Guide.

Running the ghETN Program

The command line syntax is:
ghETN -w siteid -p phenomenon -s significance [-n tableName] [-h serverhost] [-r serverport]
ghETN -w siteid -p phenomenon -s significance -f VTECfilename

A sample command line is:
ghETN -w KGSP -p SB -s Y

Option Syntax Optional or Mandatory Description
-w wfoid Mandatory Defines the WFOID filter. If not specified, then all records from all sites will be output.
-p phenomenon Mandatory Defines the VTEC phenomenon filter, e.g., "WS". If not specified, then all phenomena will be output.
-s significance Mandatory Defines the VTEC significance filter, e.g., "A". If not specified, then all significances will be output.
-n tableName Optional Determines the name of the active table to dump. Default is "active".
-f VTECfilename Optional Specifies the filename of the active table to dump. Note: use this option without the -h and -r options. No file locking is used for this scheme and the VTEC file is opened directly, i.e., the program does not use the ifpServer.
-h serverhost Optional Defines the server (ifpServer) host name. Ignored if the -f switch is used. Default is the configured ifpServer host.
-r serverport Optional Defines the server (ifpServer) port. Ignored if the -f switch is used. Default is the configured ifpServer port.
