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superseded by a more advanced utility.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
