   pdump - Dump raw plane information

Level: Expert

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : pdump <PLANES> [<fields>]

The  pdump  command  displays  all  information on some or all of your planes.
pdump is a combination of  plane  and  pstat.   Each  plane's  information  is
printed on one very long line.  Fields are separated by a single space.

This  command is designed to be used for input to an empire tool such as "ve".

In the syntax of the pdump command <PLANES> are the planes on which  you  wish
information,  [<fields>]  are  the  fields you wish to dump.  If no fields are
specified, all fields are printed.  (see "info Syntax").

A pdump command lists all selected planes headed by:

   Sun Feb  9 22:16:37 1997
   DUMP PLANES 855544597
   <fields>

The first line is the date.  The second line is the "DUMP PLANES  <timestamp>"
where  the  <timestamp> field is the current timestamp.  The third line is the
columns which are output.

These columns represent the following fields which are also the selection cri-
teria for the command.

The  following  may  be used as fields.  They must be entered EXACTLY as shown
here (no partial pattern matching is done.)

      x        x location
      y        y location

A typical usage might be:
   [##:##] Command : pdump #5
which would list data for all planes in realm #5.

A pdump lists each of your planes in the specified area.  The header line is a
list  of fields that correspond to the order that pdump prints the plane info.
