NAME

       grib_set - Sets key/value pairs in gribs.

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  key/value	pairs in the input grib file and writes each message to the output_grib_file.  It fails when an error occurs (e.g. key not
       found).

USAGE

       grib_set [options] grib_file grib_file ... output_grib_file

OPTIONS

       -s key[:{s/d/l}]=value,key[:{s/d/l}]=value,...
	      Key/values to set.  For each key a string (key:s) or a double (key:d) or a long (key:l) type can be defined. By default  the  native
	      type is set.

       -r   Repack data. Sometimes after setting some keys involving properties
	      of the packing algorithm a repacking of data is needed.  This repacking is performed setting this -r option.

       -d value
	      Set all the data values to "value".

       -p key[:{s/d/l}],key[:{s/d/l}],...
	      Declaration  of  keys  to print.	For each key a string (key:s) or a double (key:d) or a long (key:l) type can be requested. Default
	      type is string.

       -P key[:{s/d/l}],key[:{s/d/l}],...
	      As -p adding the declared keys to the default list.

       -w key[:{s/d/l}]=value,key[:{s/d/l}]=value,...	 Where clause.
	      Set is only executed for grib messages matching all the key/value constraints.  If a grib message does not match the constraints	it
	      is  copied unchanged to the output_grib_file. This behaviour can be changed setting the option -S.  For each key a string (key:s) or
	      a double (key:d) or a long (key:l) type can be defined. Default type is string.

       -7   Does not fail when the message has wrong length

       -S   Strict. Only grib messages matching all the constraints are copied to
	      the output file

       -V   Version.

       -M   Multi-grib support off. Turn off support for multiple fields in single grib message

       -g   Copy GTS header.

       -G   GRIBEX compatibility mode.

       -f   Force. Force the execution not to fail on error.

       -v   Verbose.
