NAME

miniseed2db - create wfdisc table from miniseed files

SYNOPSIS 

miniseed2db [-T tolerance] [-v] miniseed|dir [msd2|dir2 ...]
                db

DESCRIPTION

miniseed2db reads input seed or miniseed files and creates wfdisc records which reference those files in the output database db. If an argument is a directory, then all files below that directory are examined.

To create wfdisc records, miniseed2db must usually piece together multiple miniseed data blocks for each single wfdisc record. It normally requires that the time tag on each miniseed block match the time computed using the wfdisc record time, nsamp and sample rate to within 1/2 a sample time period. However, this can be relaxed or tightened with the -T option.

BUGS AND CAVEATS

miniseed2db depends on memory mapping the miniseed files (as does the trace library ultimately). If these files are too large, the memory mapping may fail, and the output wfdisc file will be incomplete.

miniseed2db counts the number of wfdisc records created by checking the number of wfdisc records at the start and the end; however, if some other process is writing to the wfdisc table, this number will be wrong.
