4.30 sddscombinelogfiles

• description: sddscombinelogfiles combines one-PV-per-file SDDS log files into a single file, retaining only timestamps common to all inputs. Supports pipe output and overwriting existing files.
• examples:
    sddscombinelogfiles log1.sdds log2.sdds combined.sdds -overwrite  
    sddscombinelogfiles log*.sdds merged.sdds  
    

• synopsis:
    sddscombinelogfiles [SDDSinputfilelist] [SDDSoutputfile] [-pipe[=output]] [-overwrite] [-threads=number]  
    

• switches:
  • -pipe[=output] — Writes output to a pipe.
  • -overwrite — Replaces the output file if it exists.
  • -threads=number — Specifies the number of input log files to load concurrently. The default is 1. Combining common timestamps and writing the output file are performed serially after input loading.
• files: Input is one or more SDDS log files containing a single process variable each. Output is a single SDDS file with only timestamps common to all inputs.
