Description

Creates a cFit format file from a fitacf TCP/IP data stream.

The data is written to a file called "yyyymmdd.iii.cfit" where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, dd is the day, and iii is the radar identifier code.

Examples

make_cfit -L log -if pid.id kapqnx.jhuapl.edu 1024

Generates cfit files from the host "kapqnx.jhuapl.edu", served at port 1024. The process identifier is recorded in the file "pid.id", and logs of all transactions are recorded in the file "log.yyyymmdd" where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day.

make_cfit -L log -if pid.id -rpf port.kap kapqnx.jhuapl.edu

Generates cfit files from the host "kapqnx.jhuapl.edu", served at port contained in the file "port.kap". The process identifier is recorded in the file "pid.id", and logs of all transactions are recorded in the file "log.yyyymmdd" where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day.
