sdflagmanager – ASAP SD task to manipulate flag version files – single dish task

Description

Task sdflagmanager enables users to save the current flag information (both channel and row flags) in the given SD dataset out to a separate ‘flag version file’. In the current implementation, sdflagmanager calls flagmanager internally, so these flag version files are copies of the flag columns for a measurement set actually. They can be restored to the data set to obtain a previous flag version. Users can also list, delete and rename flag version files using sdflagmanager. It is wise to save a flagversion at the beginning or after serious editing.
