SYNOPSIS
#include <[argus_dir]/include/argus_def.h>
#include <[argus_dir]/include/argus_out.h>
DESCRIPTION
The format of the argus(8) data stream is most succinctly described
through the structures defined in the header file, but the general for-
mat 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:
