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."
