restd()

void restd	(	int	lun,
		int	tddesc,
		int *	nctddesc,
		int *	ctddesc
	)

Standardize a local Table D descriptor.

Given the bit-wise (integer) representation of a local (not WMO-standard) Table D descriptor, this subroutine returns an equivalent array of WMO-standard child descriptors.

Any child descriptors which are themselves local Table D descriptors are automatically resolved via a recursive call to this same subroutine. This recursive process continues until all child descriptors are either WMO-standard descriptors (from Table B, Table C, Table D, or replication descriptors) or else are local Table B descriptors, in which case they are preceded with an appropriate 2-06-YYY Table C operator in the output array. The output array is then useable by any standard BUFR decoder program in order to interpret the same data values as were represented by the input local Table D descriptor.

Parameters

lun	- File ID.
tddesc	- WMO bit-wise representation of FXY value for local Table D descriptor.
nctddesc	- Number of WMO-standard child descriptors returned in ctddesc.
ctddesc	- Array of WMO-standard child descriptors equivalent to tddesc.
