data.flight

data.flight gets information about a given flight. This is by default the start and end times of a flight as specified by a start time (i.e. a DOY) and a flight code (A-Z with A being the first flight following that start time). In this mode the output is two times on standard output separated by a space. This allows data.flight to be used as the time range for other programs. For example: 

  data.get S11a `data.flight 201 A`

The quotes are backticks; that is, inline evaluation of that command. This requires that the station code can be inferred, if it cannot both need to the station code specified.

Command Line Usage

data.flight [--interval=seconds] [station] start [id]

Arguments

station

Station code, case insensitive.

start

Start time to begin searching at in any convertible time format.

id

Flight ID code. Starting at 'A' for the first flight after the time, through Z for the 26th. Defaults to the first flight.

--interval=seconds

Total time to search for in seconds. Defaults to the interval implied by the start time.

Example Usage

data.get S11a `data.flight 201`
