SDDFMERGE(1)   

NAME
       SDDFmerge - Merge arbitrary number of SDDF files

SYNOPSIS
       SDDFmerge [-k key-field] [-m merge-program]
               [-o output-file] filename...

DESCRIPTION
       The  SDDFmerge  program merges an arbitrary number of SDDF
       files.  It uses a sequential binary tree merge  algorithm,
       invoking  a  pairwise  merging  program  for  each pair of
       files.  Temporary files are placed in P_tmpdir as  defined
       in  stdio.h,  but  this  location  may be overriden by the
       TMPDIR environment variable.

OPTIONS
       -k key-field
              Specify the SDDF  field  name  to  merge  on.   The
              default is Seconds.

       -m merge-program
              Specify  the pairwise merging program.  The default
              is MergeTwoFiles.

       -o output-file
              Create output file with given name.  If this option
              is  not  specified,  output  is written to standard
              output.
