UNBLOCK_DEM(1) General Commands Manual UNBLOCK_DEM(1)
NAME
unblock_dem - Insert linefeeds into a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) file
SYNOPSIS
unblock_dem [-L]
DESCRIPTION
The drawmap program processes USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM) files (along with other types of files) to produce customized maps.
Drawmap is able to read these files in their native format. However, since the files usually don't contain any linefeeds, they are diffi-
cult for a human to read. Unblock_dem filters a DEM file and inserts linefeeds for human readability. It takes input from the standard
input and writes to the standard output. The input data must be in uncompressed form, not in gzip-compressed form. Also, unblock_dem does
not work with SDTS DEM files or GTOPO30 files.
Unblock_dem normally takes no options, but, if you use the "-L" option, the program will print out some license information and exit.
Some DEM files already have embedded linefeeds. Unblock_dem makes a feeble attempt to detect these files and abort. If the detection
fails, the results are likely to be garbled, so it is wise to check the format of each file first. The drawmap program, with the "-i"
option, will attempt to tell you whether a file contains linefeeds or not.
The intended use of unblock_dem is simply to let you conveniently examine the files to see what is in them. However, if you are in the
mood for adventure, or if you need to repair a defective file, you can use unblock_dem to make the file easy to edit, then you can edit the
file as desired. Drawmap can still process the files after linefeeds are inserted, but will become confused if any line (including the
linefeed) is more than 1024 characters long. Drawmap may also become confused if you make any significant changes to the format of the
file.
You may be able to use this capability to repair faulty data. However, you need to be familiar with the content and structure of DEM files
in order to do this effectively. You also need to remember that drawmap depends on DEM files having a predictable structure, and it won't
properly parse files that violate this predictability. Do this sort of thing only if you know what you are doing, or if you have a lot of
free time on your hands.
It should be noted that you can obtain a similar effect by using the command recommended by the USGS:
dd if=inputfilename of=outputfilename ibs=4096 cbs=1024 conv=unblock
I prefer the unblock_dem command because it simply replaces the last byte of each record with a linefeed. This lets me easily tell how
long the original records were. The effect of unblock_dem or dd can be undone by typing:
dd if=inputfilename of=outputfilename ibs=4096 cbs=1024 conv=block
You may come across files that have a linefeed in the 1025th byte. Drawmap doesn't like these, both because it can't tell (within the
space of the first 1024-byte record) whether the file contains linefeeds or not, and because the records exceed the maximum record length
of 1024 bytes. You may be able to repair such files by blocking them with the above dd command.
