Swiftbat retrieves, analyzes, and displays data from NASA's Swift spacecraft, especially data from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). All BAT data are available from the Swift data archive; however, a few routines in this library use data access methods not available to the general public and thus are useful only to Swift team members. The package also installs a command-line program 'swinfo' that provides Swift Information such as what the MET (onboard-clock) time is, where Swift was pointing, and whether a specific source was above the horizon and/or in the field of view.
