about program usage and function come by typing the pure program name or the name with the
parameter ‘-h’. If you are using wrong parameters the program usage occurs.
Program usage basics
The UNIX typical syntax for program parameters will be used:
value :A simple value (e.g., file name) has to be enclosed with blanks. Write the
value without quotes.
-a :Parameter without values: You have to type it without a blank between the minus
sign and the parameter name.
[-a] :Parameters between brackets are optional.
-a | -b | -c :Vertical lines differ between alternative parameters. Only one of the
parameters ‘-a’, ‘-b’ or ‘-c’ can be used.
-a value :Parameters with a numerical value: You have to type it without a blank
between the minus-sign and the name but with a blank between the name and the
value. Write the value without quotes.
-a ‘string’ :Parameters with a string value: You have to type without a blank between
the minus sign and the name but with a blank between the name and the string. Write
the string with quotes.
value ... :List of values. The number of values is arbitrary. Between the values has to
be a blank.
The program output...
comes to stdout (into the calling window). So you have the possibility to observe the program
results.
The input files will never be changed. To write the output into a file you have to use the UNIXlike
redirections.
For example, a ‘bash’ or ‘sh’ user can write:
trp2pnt -f 0.01 test1_head.trp
Write to stdout (= output into the calling window).
trp2pnt -f 0.01 test1_head.trp > test1.pnt
Create and write a file ‘test1.pnt’. If the file already exists, the program overwrites the
file.
trp2pnt -f 0.01 test1_head.trp >> test1.pnt
Create a file ‘test1.pnt’ or append to the file if it already exists.
