<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This tool is a batch-mode decoder for NMEA and various binary
packet formats associated with GPS, AIS, and differential-correction
services. It produces a JSON dump on standard output from binary on
standard input. The JSON is the same format documented in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gpsd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>;
this tool uses the same decoding logic as gpsd, but with a simpler
interface intended for batch processing of data files.</para>
<para>All sensor-input formats known to the GPSD project can be
decoded by this tool. These include: NMEA, AIVDM (the NMEA-derived
sentence format used by AIS, the marine Automatic Identification
System), RTCM2, and all supported GPS binary formats (notably
including SiRF). See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gpsd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for applicable standards and known limitations of the decoding
logic.</para>
<para>You can use this tool with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to examine AIS feeds from AIS pooling services, RTCM feeds from RTCM
receivers or NTRIP broadcasters.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='options'><title>OPTIONS</title>
<para>The <option>-d</option> option tells the program to decode
packets presented on standard input to standard output. This is the
default behavior.</para>
<para>The <option>-j</option> explicitly sets the output dump format
to JSON (the default behavior).</para>
<para>With the <option>-m</option> option, dump minimum lengths for
each packet type in the input (ignoring comment packets). This is
probably of interest only to GSD developers.</para>
<para>The <option>-n</option> enables dumping in generated
pseudo-NME0183.</para>
<para>The <option>-e</option> option option tells the program to
encode JSON on standard input to JSON on standard output. This option
is only useful for regression-testing of the JSON dumping and parsing
code.</para>
<para>The <option>-s</option> option option tells the program to report
AIS Type 24 sentence halves separately rather than attempting to
aggregate them.</para>
<para>The <option>-t</option> accepts a comma-separated list of
numeric types. Packets with a numeric AIS, RTCM2, or RTCM3 type are
passed through and output only if they match a type in the
list. Packets of other kinds (in particular GPS packets) are
passed through unconditionally.</para>
<para>The <option>-u</option> suppresses scaling of AIS data to float
quantities and text expansion of numeric codes. A dump with this
option is lossless.</para>
<para>The <option>-v</option> enables dumping of textual packets
to output as they are received on input, immediately preceding
corresponding output.</para>
<para>The <option>-c</option> sets the AIS dump format to separate
fields with an ASCII pipe symbol. Fields are dumped in the order they
occur in the AIS packet. Numerics are not scaled (-u is
forced). Strings are unpacked from six-bit to full ASCII</para>
<para>The <option>-V</option> option directs the program to emit its
version number, then exit.</para>
<para>The <option>-D</option> option sets a debug verbosity level. It is
mainly of interest to developers.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='json_ais'><title>AIS DSV FORMAT</title>
<para>With the <option>-c</option> option, dump lines are values of AIS
payload fields, pipe-separated, in the order that they occur in the
payload. Spans of fields expressing a date are emitted as an ISO8601
timestamp (look for colons and the trailing Z indicating Zulu/UTC
time), and the 19-bit group of TDMA status fields found at the end of
message types 1-4 are are dumped as a single unsigned integer (in hex
preceded by "0x"). Unused regional-authority fields are also dumped
(in hex preceded by "0x"). Variable-length binary fields are dumped as
an integer bit length, followed by a colon, followed by a hex
dump.</para>
