METEOSUNRISET(1)

NAME
meteomap - display the contents of the map file

SYNOPSIS
meteomap mapfile

DESCRIPTION
Since most such programs do not read their input in an atomic operation, the data in the map file maintained by meteopoll with the -m option may change between invocations of read (2). meteomap(1) reads the data in an atomic operation and writes it to standard output, the stylesheet processor can then read the data through a pipe. It is possible to use other programs, like dd(1) provided they are used with a block size of at least the length of the map file. Currently, an 8k map file is allocated independently of the station type.
