NAME
       SDDFmerger - Merge all SDDF files in a given directory

SYNOPSIS
       SDDFmerger [-s merge_field_name] [-abch] [-o output_file]
               directory_name

DESCRIPTION
       SDDFmerger  takes  all SDDF files in a given directory and
       merges them according to  a  specified  field  name.   For
       example, if the SDDF files have records ordered by a field
       named Seconds, then merging the files would  result  in  a
       single  SDDF  file ordered by the Seconds field.  There is
       no limit on the number of input files.   The  output  type
       can be ASCII, binary, or converted binary.

OPTIONS
       -s merge_field_name
              Specify the SDDF field to merge on.

      -a     Create an ASCII output file.

       -b     Create a binary output file.

       -c     Create a converted binary output file.

       -h     Print an on-line help message.

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