LIGOtools Package: Fbe
The Fbe is a simple library to be used to generate frame files
starting from different sources, including data in memory and in
files. It is not designed for speed, but for simplicity of use, to
the benefit of people willing to create frames starting from their
favorite data format. This package includes:
- The utilities ascii2frame, table2frame, and
user2frame to create frame files from simpler formatted
input files.
- A C-language library (libfbe.a).

Documentation
- Complete Fbe documentation

(but ignore all discussion of installation, since LIGOtools takes
care of that for you).
- You can type "ascii2frame -h" or
"table2frame" to get usage information for these two
utilities.
Distribution files
Normally, you should use the ligotools_update utility to
download and install new packages or new versions of existing
packages, since it automatically figures out what packages need to be
updated. However, if you wish to do so manually, then click on the
name of the appropriate distribution file (below) with the
right mouse button and choose "Save Link As..." from
the popup menu. Note that you must save it on your disk with exactly
the same name as it has on this web site. After the file has been
downloaded, do:
ligotools_install <file>
where <file> is the file which was downloaded. This
procedure will be quicker if the environment variable
LIGOTOOLS is set to the main LIGOtools directory.
