NAME

       mArchiveExec - Call mArchiveGet on each image in sequence

SYNOPSIS

       mArchiveExec [-d level] region.tbl

DESCRIPTION

       Given a table of archive images (generated by mArchiveList), calls mArchiveGet on each one in sequence to
       retrieve all the files into the current directory.

OPTIONS

       -d level
              Prints out additional debugging information; in this version, the only supported level is 1.

ARGUMENTS

       region.tbl
              Table of archive images, generated by mArchiveList.

RESULT

       [struct stat="OK", count=num-images, failed=num-failed]

       num-images from region.tbl are retrieved into the current directory.  num-failed is  a  count  of  failed
       attempts to retrieve images; turn on debugging to see the errors generated by mArchiveGet.

MESSAGES

       OK     [struct stat="OK", count=num-files, failed=num-failed]

       ERROR  Table  region.tbl  needs  column  'URL'  and  can optionally have columns 'fname'/'file' and pixel
              ranges 'imin'...'jmax'

EXAMPLES

       First, run mArchiveList to generate a table of image metadata, including URLs:

       $ mArchiveList 2mass j m31 0.5 0.5 2mass_m31_j.tbl
              [struct stat="OK", count=18]

       Next, call mArchiveExec on the metadata table to populate the current directory with the files  found  by
       mArchiveList:

       $ mArchiveExec 2mass_m31_j.tbl
              [struct stat="OK", count=18, failed=0]

       $ ls

BUGS

       The drizzle algorithm has been implemented but has not been tested in this release.

       If a header template contains carriage returns (i.e., created/modified on a Windows machine), the cfitsio
       library will be unable to read it properly, resulting in the  error:  [struct  stat="ERROR",  status=207,
       msg="illegal character in keyword"]

       It  is  best  for  the  background  correction  algorithms  if  the area described in the header template
       completely encloses all of the input images in their entirety. If parts of input images are "chopped off"
       by  the  header  template,  the  background correction will be affected. We recommend you use an expanded
       header for the reprojection and background modeling steps, returning to  the  originally  desired  header
       size  for  the  final  coaddition.  The  default background matching assumes that there are no non-linear
       background variations in the individual images (and therefore in the overlap differences).  If  there  is
       any  uncertainty  in  this  regard, it is safer to turn on the "level only" background matching (the "-l"
       flag in mBgModel.
