The adfedit Utility

The utility adfedit can be used to view (and edit) CGNS files. It is currently included with the CGNS software, although it is possible that in the future it may be superseded by a more advanced utility. The following is a brief description of the most basic capabilities of the adfedit} utility. A typical adfedit session might go like this:
   adfedit

   ADFmain> br                 go to "browse"

   ADFbrowse> o cgns.file      open file cgns.file

   ADFbrowse> t                go to "tools"

   ADFtools> pt                print out entire directory tree structure

   ADFtools> pt -l             same, but include node label info

   ADFtools> br                go to "browse"

   ADFbrowse> ls               list children (sub-nodes) of current node

   ADFbrowse> cd Base          go down one level to the node named "Base"

   ADFbrowse> dd               give description of node data

   ADFbrowse> pd               print node data

   ADFbrowse> cd ..            go up one level in the tree

   ADFbrowse> cd               go to the top of the tree (to root node)

   ADFbrowse> ?                help

   ADFbrowse> quit             exits program
