*.clf (cilalist.clf, added_cells.clf, xyz.clf)
The location information for the base stations known to the program are read from all files with extension .clf. The files must reside in the same directory as the program. They have the following structure:
  • first line: always '//cell list exchange format v2.0//', otherwise the file is not recognized as a cell list
  • all following lines either:
    • character 1 + 2 are '//': comment
  • or:
    • either
      • character 1..4: CI of the cell hexadecimal in capitals
      • character 5..8: LA of the cell hexadecimal in capitals
      or
      • character 1..5: CI of the cell decimal
      • character 6..10: LA of the cell decimal
    • character x..x+4: MCC and MNC of the corresponding PLMN
    • character x+5: any character, mostly 'TAB' or space ' '
    • characters x+6ff.: location information
The amount of entrys in the list is only limited by available memory.
The program tries to recognize cells which have changed their LA and marks them with a '?:'. Additionaly, you have the possibility of using a LA-wildcard: if you set the LA to 'FFFF', this value is treated as 'any LA', the cell found on this way is marked as '*:'. The cells with wildcard-LA should be at the end of the file.

Example:
