SYNOPSIS

       #include <[argus_dir]/include/argus_def.h>
       #include <[argus_dir]/include/argus_out.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  format  of  the  argus(8) data stream is most succinctly described
       through the structures defined in the  header  file,  but  the  general
       format is as follows:

              Argus File Format:
                 Argus_Datum Initial_Management_Record
                 Argus_Datum
                      .
                      .
                 Argus_Datum Management_Statistics
                 Argus_Datum
                      .
                      .

       where the individual data fields are defined as follows:
