data.lost

data.lost marks a segment of data as being permanently unavailable. Lost data is not reported in gaps by data.status.

Command Line Usage

data.lost [--comment=-|Text] [station] [start end]

Arguments

station

The station identifier code. For example 'brw'. Case insensitive.

--comment=-|Text

Set the comment to the given text or read it from standard input for “-”. No effect when prompting for all gaps.
