usage: bpls [OPTIONS] file [mask1 mask2 ...]

List/dump content of a BP/HDF5 file. 
A mask can be a shell pattern like with 'ls' e.g. "*/x?".
Variables with multiple timesteps are reported with an extra dimensions.
The time dimension is the first dimension then.

  --long      | -l           Print values of all scalars and attributes and
                               min/max values of arrays (no overhead to get them!)
  --attrs     | -a           List/match attributes too
  --attrsonly | -A           List attributes only
  --meshes    | -m           List meshes
  --timestep  | -t           Print values of timestep elements
  --dump      | -d           Dump matched variables/attributes
                               To match attributes too, add option -a
  --regexp    | -e           Treat masks as extended regular expressions
  --plot      | -p           Dumps the histogram information that can be read by gnuplot
  --output    | -o <path>    Print to a file instead of stdout
  --start     | -s "spec"    Offset indices in each dimension 
                               (default is 0 for all dimensions) 
                               <0 is handled as in python (-1 is last)
  --count     | -c "spec"    Number of elements in each dimension
                               -1 denotes 'until end' of dimension
                               (default is -1 for all dimensions)
  --noindex   | -y           Print data without array indices
  --string    | -S           Print 8bit integer arrays as strings
  --columns   | -n "cols"    Number of data elements per row to print
  --format    | -f "str"     Format string to use for one data item in print
                               instead of the default. E.g. "%6.3f"
  --hidden_attrs             Show hidden ADIOS attributes in the file
  --decomp    | -D           Show decomposition of variables as layed out in file

  Examples for slicing:
  -s "0,0,0"   -c "1,99,1":  Print 100 elements (of the 2nd dimension).
  -s "0,0"     -c "1,-1":    Print the whole 2nd dimension however large it is.
  -s "-1,-1"   -c "1,1":     Print the very last element (of a 2D array)

Help options
  --help      | -h           Print this help.
  --verbose   | -v           Print log about what this program is doing.
                               Use multiple -v to increase logging level.
  --version   | -V           Print version information; compatible  with
                               --verbose for additional information, i.e.
                               -v --version.

Typical use: bpls -lav <file>
