Function Documentation

seekgb()

void seekgb	(	FILE *	lugb,
		g2int	iseek,
		g2int	mseek,
		g2int *	lskip,
		g2int *	lgrib
	)

This subprogram searches a file for the next GRIB Message.

The search is done starting at byte offset iseek of the file referenced by lugb for mseek bytes at a time. If found, the starting position and length of the message are returned in lskip and lgrib, respectively. The search is terminated when an EOF or I/O error is encountered.

PROGRAM HISTORY LOG:

• 2002-10-28 GILBERT Modified from Iredell's skgb subroutine
• 2009-01-16 VUONG Changed lskip to 4 instead of sizof(g2int)

Parameters

lugb	FILE pointer for the file to search. File must be opened before this routine is called.
iseek	number of bytes in the file to skip before search.
mseek	number of bytes to search at a time.
lskip	number of bytes to skip from the beggining of the file to where the GRIB message starts.
lgrib	number of bytes in message (set to 0, if no message found).
