Print encoded BUFR message(s) to STDOUT (or file named in option
--outfile) based on decoded BUFR message(s) from bufrread.pl

Usage: $0 <file containing decoded BUFR message(s)>
        [--width n]
        [--tablepath <path to BUFR tables>]
        [--outfile <file to print encoded BUFR message(s) to>]
        [--strict_checking n]
        [--verbose n]
        [--help]
Try '$0 --help' for more information.

sub usage_verbose {
    print <<"EOF";

Will create BUFR message(s) printed to STDOUT from content of input
file, which should match exactly what you would get by running
bufrread.pl on the final BUFR message(s).

Normal use:
     $0 bufr.decoded > bufr.reencoded
  after first having done
     bufrread.pl <BUFR file> > bufr.decoded
     Edit file bufr.decoded as desired

Options:
      --width n
  The decoded message(s) was created by using bufrread.pl with option --width n
      --tablepath <path to BUFR tables>
  If used, will set path to BUFR tables. If not set, will fetch tables
  from the environment variable BUFR_TABLES, or if this is not set: will use
  $DEFAULT_TABLE_PATH
      --outfile <filename>
  Will print encoded BUFR messages to <filename> instead of STDOUT
      --strict_checking n n=0 Disable strict checking of BUFR format
                          n=1 Issue warning if (recoverable) error in
                              BUFR format
                          n=2 (default) Croak if (recoverable) error in BUFR format.
                              Nothing more in this message will be encoded.
      --verbose n
  Set verbose level to n, 0<=n<=3 (default 0). Verbose output is sent to STDOUT,
  so ought to be combined with option --outfile
      --help
  Will print this help message and then exit

Note: 'Optional section present' will always be set to 0, as
reencode_message in BUFR.pm currently does not provide encoding
of section 2. A warning will be printed to STDERR if 'Optional
section present' originally was 1.
