NAME

mapsid - Map sensor name to sensor number or vice versa

SYNOPSIS

  mapsid [--site-config-file=FILENAME] [--print-classes]
        [{ <sensor-name> | <sensor-number> } ...]

DESCRIPTION

mapsid is a utility that maps sensor names to sensor numbers or vice versa depending on the input arguments. When no arguments are given, the mapping of all sensor numbers to names is printed. When a numeric argument is given, the number to name mapping is printed for the specified argument. When a name is given, its numeric id is printed. For convenience when typing in sensor names, the case is irrelevant.

OPTIONS

Option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an exact match for an option. A parameter to an option may be specified as --arg=param or --arg param, though the first form is required for options that take optional parameters.

--print-classes: For each sensor, print the classes for which the sensor collects data.
--site-config-file=FILENAME: Read the SiLK site configuration from the named file FILENAME. When this switch is not provided, the location specified by the SILK_CONFIG_FILE environment variable is used if that variable is not empty. The value of SILK_CONFIG_FILE should include the name of the file. Otherwise, the application looks for a file named silk.conf in the following directories: the directory specified in the SILK_DATA_ROOTDIR environment variable; the data root directory that is compiled into SiLK (use the --version switch to view this value); the directories $SILK_PATH/share/silk/ and $SILK_PATH/share/; and the share/silk/ and share/ directories parallel to the application's directory.

EXAMPLES

Name to number mapping:

 $ mapsid beta
 BETA -> 1

Number to name mapping:

 $ mapsid 3
 3 -> DELTA

Print all mappings:

 $ mapsid
  0 -> ALPHA
  1 -> BETA
  2 -> GAMMA
  3 -> DELTA
  4 -> EPSLN
  5 -> ZETA
      ....
