Console Scripts#
Command-line tools for common Tecplot data file operations.
Binary data formats such as .plt and .szplt are opaque to standard shell
utilities, meaning any inspection or manipulation of their contents typically requires
either dedicated post-processing software or a non-trivial amount of scripting. For
routine tasks encountered in CFD and related workflows, verifying zone extents,
extracting a subset of variables, computing summary statistics, this overhead is
disproportionate to the complexity of the task itself.
The tools collected here address this by exposing the most common file-level operations as console scripts, executable directly from the terminal and composable with standard shell pipelines. Each tool is intentionally narrow in scope: it does one thing and surfaces its result without requiring the user to open a GUI or write any Python.
All scripts are installed automatically alongside the tecio package and are
available on PATH immediately after installation. Every tool accepts --help for
a full description of its arguments.
