skdchk

DESCRIPTION

"skdchk" reads a schedule file (SKED or VEX format) and checks it.

The analysis method of the $CODES block in the SKED file is improved at Ver.2019-12-21 and later.

SYNOPSIS

skdchk skedfile [-NOEARLY] [-LEGACY]

skdfile schedule file name (either VEX or SKED format)
-NOEARLY ignore "tape early start" aparameter
-LEGACY use old method to analyze $CODE block of SKED file to keep compatibility with the version before 2019-12-21.

EXAMPLES

[Ex.1 Check a SKED file]
