NAME
evolver-nox-q - The Surface Evolver program with no X support and quadruple precision floating point format
SYNOPSIS
evolver-nox-q [-a][-d][-e][-i][-m][-q][-w][-x][-y][-h][-V] [-f FILE] [-pN] [DATAFILE]
DESCRIPTION
The Surface Evolver is an interactive program for the modelling of liquid surfaces shaped by various forces and constraints. Basically the Surface Evolver minimizes the energy of triangulated surfaces according to designated energies and constraints. This man page mainly documents command line options and environment variables.
OPTIONS
-a Autoconvert to named quantities when needed (default is on); use
`-a-' to deactivate autoconversion.
-d Begin with parser debugging on (equivalent to `debug' runtime
command); beware of copious output.
-e Echo stdin to stdout; meant for testing piped input.
-f FILE
After loading DATAFILE, read commands from file, then command
line prompt.
-i Preserve DATAFILE numbers for element id's, rather than
renumbering.
-m Begin with memory debugging on (equivalent to `memdebug' runtime
command); beware of copious output.
-pN Run with N concurrent processes.
-q Convert to named quantities at start (equivalent to
`convert_to_quantities' runtime command).
-w Exit immediately after any warning or error message; meant for
batch runs.
-x Exit immediately after any error message; meant for batch runs.
-y Break to user prompt after any warning message.
-h Display this help, then exit.
-V Display the version and the banner, then exit.

BANNER

ENVIRONMENT
EVOLVERPATH
Colon-separated list of paths automatically searched for
datafiles, included files, or on-line help documentation. By
default, the paths /usr/share/doc/evolver-doc/html and
/usr/share/doc/evolver-doc/examples are appended (in that
order); this default behaviour can be cancelled by appending at
least three consecutive colons (":::") at its end.
FILES
~/.evolver_history
Per user command history file.
