espfilt (espfilt-2.7.1) [xmmsas_20190531_1155-18.0.0]

Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

Some SAS options are also interpreted by espfilt before being passed to its constituent tasks:

• '-V' (verbosity) is used in the same way as the SAS_VERBOSITY environment variable.
• '-o' (odf) is used to define the directory where the data resides in the same way as the SAS_ODF environment variable. Normally, the task checks the environment variable SAS_ODF, then checks if a valid odfingest-produced ASCII file is present, but the user can enter the odf directory or file on the command line with this option.
• '-i' (ccf) is used to define the directory where the Calibration (CCF) data resides in the same way as the SAS_CCF environment variable. Normally, the task checks the environment variable SAS_ODF, then checks if a valid cifbuild-produced ASCII file is present, but the user can enter the ccf directory or ccf.cif file on the command line with this option.
• There is emulation of the '-h' (help), '-m' (manpage), '-p' (param) parameters.
