|
When FlexPDE is run from a command line or as a subtask from another application, there are some command-line switches that can be used to control its behavior:
-R |
Run the file which is named on the command line. Do not enter edit mode. |
-V |
View the file which is named on the command line. Do not enter edit mode. |
-X |
Exit FlexPDE when the problem completes. |
-M |
Run in "minimized" mode (reduced to an icon). |
-Q |
Run "quietly". Combines -R -X -M. |
-S |
Run "silently". -Q with all error reports suppressed. Also, no icon should appear in the system taskbar. |
-T |
Set the default thread count. Append the number : -T6 will use six threads. |
-L |
License FlexPDE. For Internet Key, append A for activate, R for release, then serial number : -LA668668886. For local or network dongle, append D or N followed by dongle ID : -LD2-2428250. |
-I |
Report the computer specific ID for FlexPDE. |
-NC |
Turn off consolidation of output. |
-NM |
Turn off automatic import of previous mesh. |
-NI |
Turn off loading and saving of preferences from .ini file. |
For example, the command line
flexpde8 -R problem
will load and run the script file "problem.pde".
Simple parameters can be set from the command line using -param name = value.
For example, the command line
flexpde8 -param k=1 problem
will load and run the script file "problem.pde" with the parameter definition of k=1 (overriding any definition of k in the script).
Note : On the Mac, the actual executable code is located inside of an application "bundle", which is simply a directory hierarchy that is hidden from the user in graphics mode. The complete path to the executable would be "FlexPDE8.app/Contents/MacOS/flexpde8". See the Apple developer website for more information about application bundles.
