weewxd¶
The weewxd
application is the heart of WeeWX. It collects data from
hardware, processes the data, archives the data, then generates reports
from the data.
It can be run directly, or in the background as a daemon. When it is run
directly, weewxd
emits LOOP and ARCHIVE data to stdout.
Specify --help
to see how it is used:
weewxd --help
