Name

snaptrim - select a subset of the snapshot frames in a file

Synopsis

snaptrim in=in_file out=out_file [parameter=value] ...

Description

snaptrim reads snapshot(5NEMO) data from in and copies a subset of the frames to out. Frames may be selected by specifying either a time range, or sampling frequencies for particle and diagnostic frames.

snaptrim has the option of assuming the input file contains a sorted series (in time) of snapshots, in which case the scanning stops immediately after the last needed snapshot is written. (see keyword checkall= below).

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized:
in=in_file
Input data is read from in_file, in snapshot(5NEMO) format. Default: none.
out=out_file
Selected frames are written to out_file. If the name contains a valid mstropen(3NEMO) formatted name, the output file will be split over multiple files. Default: none.
times=time_range
Select frames with time values within time_range, which is of a form such as 1.0:1.5,2.5,3.0. A special format is allowed to select the Nth snapshot using times=#N, where the first snapshot is counted as 1. Special values are first, last and all. If timefuzz=nearest (see below) is used, time_range must contain just a single value. Default: all.
partcyc=interval
Select one out of every interval particle frames within time_range; if 0, select none. Default: 1, which selects all.
diagcyc=interval
Select one out of every interval diagnostic frames within time_range; if 0, select none. Default: 1, which selects all.
amnesia=t|f
Set it to true if you don’t want history records to be in the output file. Default: false.
checkall=t|f
Set it to true if you really want to be sure all snapshots are checked if to be copied. This keyword must be set to true when the input snapshot is not sorted in time. By setting it to false, it can speed up scanning enormously. Default: false.
timefuzz=
Fuzzyness allowed in comparing times requested for output, and actual times in snapshot. The special string value "nearest" is also allowed to output the snapshot closest to the requested time. In this case, the times= keyword cannot contain ranges.

Bugs

For times=last you should not use a pipe in the input stream, i.e. in=-.
