Contents of README:This command-line utility is intended to provide quick access to current weather conditions and forecasts. Presently, it is capable of returning data for localities throughout the USA by retrieving and formatting decoded METARs (Meteorological Aerodrome Reports) from NOAA (the USA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and forecasts from NWS (the USA National Weather Service). The tool is written to function in the same spirit as other command-line informational utilities like cal(1), calendar(1) and dict(1). It can retrieve arbitrary weather data via specific command-line switches (station ID, city, state), or aliases can be configured system wide and on a per-user basis. It can be freely used and redistributed under the terms of a BSD-like License. *SPECIAL NOTE* This will copy the existing "/usr/bin/weather" script on the system (which is part of the "expect" package in Slackware) to "/usr/bin/weather.expect" while installing the one in this package as "/usr/bin/weather.weather" and creating a symlink to it from /usr/bin/weather. If you remove this package later for whatever reason, then you will need to either reinstall Slackware's "expect" package, fix the symlink, or remove the symlink and rename the "/usr/bin/weather.expect" file back to "/usr/bin/weather" |
