NAME

       msr_parse - Parse, validate and print details of a SEED data record

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libmseed.h>

       int  ms_parse_raw ( char *record, int maxreclen,
                           flag details, flag swapflag );

DESCRIPTION

       ms_parse_raw is a simple validating SEED data record header parser.  The data in record is
       assumed to contain a SEED data record with a maximum length of maxreclen.  In addition  to
       validating  header  fields where possible, raw header fields can be printed.  This routine
       is primarily intended for identifying invalid data  record  headers  and  printing  record
       header contents.

       The details flag is interpreted as follows:
         0 = only print error messages for invalid header fields
         1 = print basic fields in addition to invalid field errors
         2 = print all fields in addition to invalid field errors

       The swapflag flag is interpreted as follows:
         1 = swap multibyte quantities
         0 = do no swapping
        -1 = autodetect byte order using year test, swap if needed

RETURN VALUES

       ms_parse_raw  returns  0  when  no  errors  were  detected  or  a positive count of errors
       detected.
