srf_info  lists  some  simple frequency metrics on the contents of an SRF file, both in terms of how many
       traces there are and the sort of data held within them.

       For efficiencies sake some control is given  over  which  statistics  to  gather  and  display.  This  is
       controlled  by the -l level parameter. The value is the summation of one or more of the following values,
       representing the data to display.

       1      Count of good/bad reads.

       2      Counts and compressed size for selected chunk types.

       4      Trace count and trace name prefix for each trace_header.

       8      Base count.

       To  count  the  total  number  of good and bad reads along with a break down of trace names per SRF data-
       block-header we would use bitmap values 1 and 4 combined.

           srf_info -l 5 foo.srf

       To count the total number of reads for all srf files in a directory.

           srf_info -l 1 *.srf

-l bitmap
              Controls which statistics to gather and display. Bitmap is a value  from  0  to  15  (1+2+4+8)  as
              described in the DESCRIPTION section above.
