appendAtt
Description
appendAtt is a command-line utility designed to append multiple OMG-HDCS (Ocean Mapping Group - Hydrographic Data Cleaning System) attitude record files into a single output file. It sorts the input files based on the time of their first record. It also supports time-bounding the appended data and applying an optional time shift to the input records.
Usage
appendAtt [OPTIONS] -out <output_filename> <input_filename(s)>.orientation
