Usage

usage: fm128_radar_knmi [-h] [-c MY_CONFIG] --DOWNLOAD_DIR DOWNLOAD_DIR
                        --OUTPUT_DIR OUTPUT_DIR [--TMP_DIR TMP_DIR]

Download and convert KNMI radar data to WRFDA fm128_radar ascii Args that
start with '--' (eg. --DOWNLOAD_DIR) can also be set in a config file
(/data/github/urban/etc/fm128_radar_knmi/radar.config or specified via -c).
Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details,
see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is specified in more than one
place, then commandline values override environment variables which override
config file values which override defaults.
