Keyword arguments:
        sdfile -- name of input SD dataset
        scanaverage -- average integrations within scans
                options: (bool) True,False
                default: False
                example: if True, this happens in read-in
                         For GBT, set False!
        scanlist -- list of scan numbers to process
                default: [] (use all scans)
                example: [21,22,23,24]
                         this selection is in addition to field,
                         iflist, and pollist
        field -- selection string for selecting scans by name
                default: ’’ (no name selection)
                example: ’FLS3a*’
                         this selection is in addition to scanlist,
                         iflist,pollist
        iflist -- list of IF id numbers to select
                default: [] (use all IFs)
                example: [15]
                this selection is in addition to scanlist,
                         field, and pollist
        pollist -- list of polarization id numbers to select
                default: [] (use all polarizations)
                example: [1]
                this selection is in addition to scanlist,
                field, and iflist
kernel -- type of spectral smoothing
        options: ’hanning’,’gaussian’,’boxcar’
        default: ’hanning’
                >>>kernel expandable parameter
                 kwidth -- width of spectral smoothing kernel
                 options: (int) in channels
                 default: 5
         example: 5 or 10 seem to be popular for boxcar
                  ignored for hanning (fixed at 5 chans)
                                  (0 will turn off gaussian or boxcar)
outfile -- Name of output ASAP format(scantable) file
        default: ’’ (<sdfile>_sm)
outform -- format of output file
                options: ’ASCII’,’SDFITS’,’MS’,’ASAP’
                default: ’ASAP’
                example: the ASAP format is easiest for further sd
                         processing; use MS for CASA imaging.
                         If ASCII, then will append some stuff to
                         the outfile name
        overwrite -- overwrite the output file if already exists
                options: (bool) True,False
                default: False
                WARNING: if outform=’ASCII’, this parameter is ignored
        plotlevel -- control for plotting of results
        options: (int) 0=none, 1=some, 2=more, <0=hardcopy
default: 0 (no plotting)
example: plotlevel<0 as abs(plotlevel), e.g.
         -1 => hardcopy of final plot (will be named
         <outfile>_smspec.eps)

        DESCRIPTION:

Task sdsmooth performs smoothing of the single-dish spectra.
        Set plotlevel >= 1 to plot spectrum before and after smoothing.
