squirrel files

usage: squirrel files [--help] [--loglevel LEVEL] [--progress DEST]
                      [--relative] [--add PATH [PATH ...]] [--include REGEX]
                      [--exclude REGEX] [--optimistic] [--format FORMAT]
                      [--add-only KINDS] [--persistent NAME] [--dataset FILE]
                      [--kinds KINDS] [--codes CODES] [--tmin TIME]
                      [--tmax TIME] [--time TIME]

Options:

--relative

Reveal path as it is stored in the database. This is relative for files inside a Squirrel environment.

General options:

--help, -h

Show this help message and exit.

--loglevel LEVEL

Set logger level. Choices: critical, error, warning, info, debug. Default: info.

--progress DEST

Set how progress status is reported. Choices: terminal, log, off. Default: terminal.

Data collection options:

--add PATH [PATH ...], -a PATH [PATH ...]

Add files and directories with waveforms, metadata and events. Content is indexed and added to the temporary (default) or persistent (see --persistent) data selection.

--include REGEX

Only include files whose paths match the regular expression REGEX. Examples: --include='\.MSEED$' would only match files ending with .MSEED. --include='\.BH[EN]\.' would match paths containing .BHE. or .BHN.. --include='/2011/' would match paths with a subdirectory 2011 in their path hierarchy.

--exclude REGEX

Only include files whose paths do not match the regular expression REGEX. Examples: --exclude='/\.DS_Store/' would exclude anything inside any .DS_Store subdirectory.

--optimistic, -o

Disable checking file modification times for faster startup.

--format FORMAT, -f FORMAT

Assume input files are of given FORMAT. Choices: datacube, mseed, pyrocko_events, pyrocko_stations, sac, stationxml, tdms_idas, virtual, yaml. Default: detect.

--add-only KINDS

Restrict meta-data scanning to given content kinds. KINDS is a comma-separated list of content kinds. Choices: waveform, station, channel, response, event, waveform_promise. By default, all content kinds are indexed.

--persistent NAME, -p NAME

Create/use persistent selection with given NAME. Persistent selections can be used to speed up startup of Squirrel-based applications.

--dataset FILE, -d FILE

Add files, directories and remote sources from dataset description file. This option can be repeated to add multiple datasets. Run squirrel template to obtain examples of dataset description files.

Data query options:

--kinds KINDS

Content kinds to query. KINDS is a comma-separated list of content kinds. Choices: waveform, station, channel, response, event, waveform_promise. By default, all content kinds are queried.

--codes CODES

Code patterns to query (STA, NET.STA, NET.STA.LOC, NET.STA.LOC.CHA, or NET.STA.LOC.CHA.EXTRA). The pattern may contain wildcards * (zero or more arbitrary characters), ? (single arbitrary character), and [CHARS] (any character out of CHARS). Multiple patterns can be given by separating them with commas.

--tmin TIME

Begin of time interval to query. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF, truncation allowed.

--tmax TIME

End of time interval to query. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF, truncation allowed.

--time TIME

Time instant to query. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF, truncation allowed.
