glom

Name

glom -- Glue event fragments together into events

Synopsis

glom options

DESCRIPTION

Glom is a filter that accepts event ordered event fragments on stdin and emits event ring items on standard output. Event fragments that represent non physics triggers are just passed through, with the event fragment header stripped off so that they become their initial ring items again.

Any errors glom wants to complain about are emitted to its standard error. It is therefore normally a bad idea to have glom's standard output and standard error pointed to the same sink. Glom's behavior is controlled by command line options that are documented in OPTIONS below.

OPTIONS

--nobuild

If this option is present, glom won't attempt to glue together event fragments, but will emit each event fragment as a single vent.

--dt ticks

This mandatory parameter provides the number of timestamp ticks that define a coincidence interval when building events. The value of ticks is ignored but currently necessary when --nobuild is speicified.

KNOWN ISSUES

  1. --dt should probably not be necessary if --nobuild is present.
