# Earthworm Program:
ew2file Overview

(last revised July 3, 2006)

The ew2file program will take any message from a ring and write it to a file in a specified directory. The Earthworm message is written verbatim (in binary form) and is thus not generally readable. It writes timestamps on the files if the packet type is one of TYPE_PICK2K, TYPE_PICK_SCNL, or TYPE_HYP2000ARC and the TimeBasedFilename flag is set in the .d file. This module can be used in conjunction with sendfile/getfile to send messages as files. Its counterpart is file2ew.
