Introduction
All programs in the package can be run by typing the program name
followed by command line arguments. With such a format, they can be
executed directly on the command line or in a shell script. When a
program is executed without any arguments, it will print a simple
message describing the usage. The command format and the control file
format are described below.
Command format:
PROGRAM arg_1 arg_2 arg_3 ...
- PROGRAM
- name of the executable program. If the program is not in the current
directory, its path must be included also.
- ARG_n
- a command line argument which is the name of a file. It is usually one
of those described in the preceding section or a control file containing
input parameters.
Control file format:
PARAMETER_1 !COMMENT
:
PARAMETER_n !COMMENT
FILE_NAME_1 !COMMENT
:
FILE_NAME_n !COMMENT
- PARAMETER_n
- a constant number which is passed to the program. If more than one
parameter is required on the same line, they must be separated by a
space.
- FILE_NAME_n
- name of a file to be passed to the program. There is always only one
file name per line.
- COMMENT
- optional comments which describe the parameter(s) on the same line. All
comments must be the last fields of each line and be preceded by "!".
