NAME

       gmtinfo - Get information about individual cruises

SYNOPSIS

       gmtinfo leg-ids

DESCRIPTION

       gmtinfo  reports  the  minimum/maximum coordinates, year of the cruise,
       leg id, number of  records,  the  number  of  gravity,  magnetics,  and
       bathymetry  points found, and the start/stop dates for the leg. All the
       information is written to standard output on one line  so  that  it  is
       easy to use awk to add up numbers etc.

       leg-ids
              Can   be   one  or  more  gmtleg-names,  like  c2610.  Use  ‘cat
              list_of_legs‘ to pass all the legnames in the file list_of_legs.

EXAMPLES

       To obtain information about cruises c2603 and v2819, run

       gmtinfo c2603 v2819 > info_file
