Command Files

Field Files (Prev)         Thermodynamic Properties (Next)

For any PSCF simulation program, the parameter file is read first, followed by a command script. The command file controls the sequence of operations performed after the program is initialized using information from the parameter file. The name of the command file is specified when the program is invoked as an argument of the -c command line option.

The command file contains a sequence of commands that are read and executed in sequence. Each command begins with an all upper case label. Some commands take one or more parameters, which must appear after the upper case label, separated by whitespace. The program stops execution and returns control to the operating system when it encounters the command string 'FINISH' on a line by itself.
