NAME
X-GEN - manual page for X-GEN application `xgentools', Version 5.8.0
SYNOPSIS
xgentools [--help] [--version] [--commands] [-hvc] [command]
DESCRIPTION
"xgentools" is a command-line interface to the seldom-used utilities of
the X-GEN software package. It and "xgen" replace roughly one hundred
executables, each of which was intended to perform one particular func-
tion and then exit. "xgen" and "xgentools" are structurally identical
software packages; the only difference is the list of functionalities
that are accessible from them. "xgen" provides access to the fifty
most important functionalities within the package; "xgentools" offers
access to about fifty less universally-required functionalities. The
only users who are likely to require "xgentools" are facility managers
and developers.
In one-line mode, the user executes a single X-GEN command and then
exits. In interactive mode, the user types "xgentools" and is greeted
with a prompt, "x> ". The user then can type in either X-GEN commands
or shell commands, including commands like "POLARIZATION_TYPE=3" and
"source *.com". Filename expansion is accomplished in both cases.
The specific X-GEN functionalities accessible through xgentools are:
absorder, bhead, bigsig, cci2u, cmpu, compuc, correl, crossu,
cutcen, cutclose, cutweak, cvtcad, cvtuca, darksub, dih, dobra-
vais, edcal, edimage, expandmu, expun, flipr, histo, ifilt,
ixtouca, matcomp, mergeshift, mergeuc, mimage, missi, moduc,
mubij2fmt, mukb2fmt, multi, pred2u, raw2u, rescale, revf, s2u,
scaleu, sie2c, spacor, splitc, tref, u2d, uca2c, uconvert
Any X-GEN functionalities not included in this list are available via
"xgen."
