NAME

       grib_compare - Compares the grib messages contained in two files.

DESCRIPTION

       Compares  the  grib  messages  contained in two files one by one in the
       same order.  If some differences are found it fails returning an  error
       code.  All the keys are compared except those listed with the -b option
       and those that are specific of a  different  grib  edition.  Also  data
       values  are  compared  and are considered as different if their maximum
       absolute difference is greater than the absolute error, that by default
       is  0.000001.   The value used by the absolute error can be set with te
       -e option.

USAGE

       grib_compare [options] grib_file grib_file

OPTIONS

       -b key,key,...
              Black list. All the keys in this list are skipped when comparing
              the two files.

       -c key,key,...
              Keys to compare.  Only the listed keys are compared.

       -e tolerance
              Only   values  whose  difference  is  more  than  tolerance  are
              considered different.

       -w key[:{s/d/l}]{=/!=}value,key[:{s/d/l}]{=/!=}value,...
              Where clause.  Grib messages are processed only  if  they  match
              all  the  key/value  constraints.  A valid constraint is of type
              key=value or key!=value.  For each key a  string  (key:s)  or  a
              double  (key:d) or a long (key:l) type can be specified. Default
              type is string.

       -f   Force. Force the execution not to fail on error.

       -V   Version.

       -7   Does not fail when the message has wrong length

       -v   Verbose.
