NAME

       nrnivmodl - Compile special version of NEURON with custom mechanisms

SYNOPSIS

       nrnivmodl [FILES]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the nrnivmodl command.

       nrnivmodl  is  part  of  the  NEURON  simulation  environment  for computational models of
       physiological neurons. Its purpose is to compile  membrane  mechanisms  with  user-defined
       properties.

       If  .mod  files are supplied as FILES nrnivmodl will compile them into a dedicated version
       of NEURON called special with the new mechanisms included.  The new NEURON version is  put
       into a subdirectory named after the current CPU architecture.

       If  no  file  arguments  are  present, nrnivmodl adds all the files in the current working
       directory that have the suffix .mod to special.  In order to construct an executable,  the
       model  descriptions  first have to be translated into C code, which is then compiled using
       the default C compiler.

       Such models must contain a NEURON  block  which  specifies  the  type  of  model  (density
       mechanism  or  point  process),  the  names of ions it uses, and which variables are to be
       treated as range variables in the interface to OC.
