NAME

     createsummary — Scalar File Summarization Tool

SYNOPSIS

     createsummary [Var Names] -batch -interactive -compress=Level -ignore-scalar-file-errors

DESCRIPTION

     createsummary is a summarization tool for scalar files: it creates one GNU R data table file
     for each scalar. CreateSummary supports on-the-fly BZip2 compression. After startup, the
     program accepts the following commands from standard input (*not* as command-line
     arguments!):

     --varnames=Variables
            A space-separated list of output variable names to be added to the output data
            tables.

     --values=Values
            Sets the values of the output variables for the next scalar file to the provided
            space-separated values. One value for each variable has to be provided.

     --logfile=Name
            Sets the log file for the next scalar file. On an error related to this scalar file,
            the log file's name is displayed. This option can be used to identify bad
            simulation/measurement runs by pointing to the log file being created for the
            simulation/measurement.

     --statusfile=Name
            Sets the status file for the next scalar file. On an error related to this scalar
            file, the status file is deleted. This option can be used to repeat bad
            simulation/measurement runs by re-running the simulation/measurement on missing
            status files.

     --input=Filename
            Process the given scalar file.

     --skip=Prefix
            All scalars beginning with the given prefix are not written to output tables.  This
            option can be used to filter out unneeded results.

     --simulationdirectory=Directory
            Sets the directory where to find the scalar files.

     --resultsdirectory=Directory
            Sets the directory where to write the summary tables to.

     --ignore-scalar-file-errors
            Ignore skalar file erros (that is, missing input files) instead of aborting.

ARGUMENTS

     The following arguments may be provided:

     Var Names
             A space-separated list of output variable names to be added to the output data
             tables.

     -batch  Run in batch mode. The program is aborted on errors.

     -interactive
             Run in interactive mode. On errors, the program is continued.

     -compress=0-9
             Sets the BZip2 compression level; 1=none, 9=highest (default).

     -ignore-scalar-file-errors
             Ignore skalar file erros (that is, missing input files) instead of aborting.

EXAMPLE

     Consider two simulation results test1.sca.bz2 (created with ParameterX=One) and
     test2.sca.bz2 (created with ParameterX=Two). The scalar files are located in the current
     directory, the output tables should be written to /tmp with compression level 5:
     ( echo "--simulationsdirectory=."  && \
       echo "--resultsdirectory=/tmp"   && \
       echo "--values=One"              && \
       echo "--input=test1.sca.bz2"     && \
       echo "--values=Two"              && \
       echo "--input=test2.sca.bz2" ) | createsummary "ParameterX" -compress=5
