Example of use:
tide -l "Les Hattes" -b "2010-01-01 00:00" -e "2010-12-31 23:59" -f c -o "Yalimapo2010.csv"
Syntaxe
-b "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"
Specify the begin (start) time for predictions using the ISO 8601 compliant format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, where hours range from 00 to 23. The timestamp is in the local time zone for the location, or in UTC if the -z setting is engaged. If clock mode is selected or if no -b is supplied, the current time will be used. (Note Quirk #1)
-e "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"
Specify the end (stop) time for predictions in banner, calendar, alt. calendar, medium rare, plain, raw, or stats mode. Does not apply in graph and clock modes: the effective end time for graph and clock modes is entirely determined by the start time (-b), the width (-cw, -gw or -tw), and the aspect (-ga). The format and time zone are the same as for -b. If no -e is supplied, the end time will be set to four days after the begin time. (Note Quirk #2)
When it matters, -b and -e ranges mean specifically "all t such that b ≤ t < e."
-f c|h|i|l|p|t|v
Specify the output format as CSV, HTML, iCalendar, LaTeX, PNG, text, or SVG. See the modes page for legal modes and formats. The default is text.
-l "Location Name"
Specify a location for tide predictions. You get the first station where the name supplied with -l is a case-insensitive match with the beginning (or the entirety) of the station's name. You can use the -l switch more than once if you want to specify multiple locations.
-m a|b|c|C|g|k|l|m|p|r|s
Specify mode to be about, banner, calendar, alt. calendar, graph, clock, list, medium rare, plain, raw, or stats. See the modes page for legal modes and formats. The default is plain.
-ml [-]N.NN(ft|m|kt)
Specify the mark level to be used in predictions. The predictions will include the times when the tide level crosses the mark. Not supported in clock mode. Example usage: -ml -0.25ft
-o "filename"
Redirect output to the specified file (appends).
-s "HH:MM"
Specify the step interval, in hours and minutes, for raw or medium rare mode predictions. The default is one hour.
-v
Print version string and exit. Please note that versions marked as DEVELOPMENT versions are not really versioned; they are work in progress and will change without warning.
