.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBmgd77path\fP \fINGDC\-ids\fP [  \fB\-A\fP[\fB\-\fP] ] [  \fB\-D\fP ]
[  \fB\-I\fP\fIignore\fP ]
[  \fB\-V\fP[\fIlevel\fP] ]
.sp
\fBNote:\fP No space is allowed between the option flag and the associated arguments.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBmgd77path\fP returns the full pathname to one or more MGD77 files. The
pathname returned for a given cruise may change with time due to
reshuffling of disks/subdirectories.
.SH REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fINGDC\-ids\fP
Can be one or more of five kinds of specifiers:
.INDENT 7.0
.IP 1. 3
8\-character NGDC IDs, e.g., 01010083, JA010010etc., etc.
.IP 2. 3
2\-character <agency> codes which will return all cruises from each agency.
.IP 3. 3
4\-character <agency><vessel> codes, which will return all cruises from those vessels.
.IP 4. 3
=<list>, where <list> is a table with NGDC IDs, one per line.
.IP 5. 3
If nothing is specified we return all cruises in the data base.
.UNINDENT
.sp
(See mgd77info \fB\-L\fP for agency and vessel codes). The ".mgd77" or
".nc" extensions will automatically be appended, if needed (use
\fB\-I\fP to ignore certain file types). Cruise files will be looked
for first in the current directory and second in all directories
listed in \fB$MGD77_HOME\fP/mgd77_paths.txt [If \fB$MGD77_HOME\fP is
not set it will default to \fB$GMT_SHAREDIR\fP/mgd77].
.UNINDENT
.SH OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-A\fP[\fB\-\fP]
Display the full path to each cruise [Default]. Optionally, append
\fB\-\fP which will list just the cruise IDs instead.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-D\fP
Instead of cruise listings, just show the directory paths currently
used in the search.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-I\fP\fIignore\fP
Ignore certain data file formats from consideration. Append
\fBa|c|m|t\fP to ignore MGD77 ASCII, MGD77+ netCDF, MGD77 t ASCII, or plain
tab\-separated ASCII table files, respectively. The option may be
repeated to ignore more than one format. [Default ignores none].
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-V\fP[\fIlevel\fP] \fI(more ...)\fP
Select verbosity level [c]. Reports the total number of cruises found.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-^\fP or just \fB\-\fP
Print a short message about the syntax of the command, then exits (NOTE: on Windows use just \fB\-\fP).
.TP
.B \fB\-+\fP or just \fB+\fP
Print an extensive usage (help) message, including the explanation of
any module\-specific option (but not the GMT common options), then exits.
