NAME
       whisper-create - create a whisper database

SYNOPSYS
       whisper-create path secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore [secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore]*

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  creates  a  new  whisper fixed-size database. For each database you specify one or more pairs of numbers describing how data
       points should be archived in this database. The first part of the pair is the precision, the second part of  the  pair  is  how	many  data
       points should be stored. You cannot configure two archives with the same precision inside a single database. Higher precision archives must
       evenly divide all lower precision archives' precision.

       The options are described below.

OPTIONS
       --overwrite
	      Overwrite an existing database.

       --xFilesFactor
	      The fraction of data points in a propagation interval that must have known values for a propagation to occur.

       -h, --help
	      Show the embedded help.
