  • DESCRIPTION
      The format of the argus(8) data stream is most succinctly described through the structures defined in the header file, but the general format is as follows:
      Argus File Format:    Argus_Datum Initial_Management_Record    Argus_Datum         .         .    Argus_Datum Management_Statistics    Argus_Datum         .         .


      where the individual data fields are defined as follows:
