The abalist program: computing American Birding Association list totals | |
To compute list totals abalist, use this command:
abalist [-sstateCode] [-yYYYY]file...
stateCode
To constrain the list to records from one state,
supply a U.S. postal code argument. Example:
“-s az” would
count only Arizona records. If this option is
omitted, all states are counted.
YYYY
To constrain the list to records from a calendar
year, supply a four-digit year. Example:
“-y 2004”
If this option is omitted, all years are counted.
file
List one or more XML files containing the field
records to be scanned for countable ABA species.
These files must conform to the birdnotes.rnc schema, as described
in the birdnotes system.
The program writes two reports:
The chronological report lists all countable records in ascending order by date. Multiple records for the same date are presented in phylogenetic order.
The phylogenetic report lists all countable records in the phylogenetic order defined by the xnomo system.
