TOPCOM \- triangulations of point configurations and oriented matroids
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
TOPCOM programs share a command-line parsing library.  Therefore, all TOPCOM
programs accept the following options.  Note that some options are not
relevant to all TOPCOM programs.
.PP
Options concerning shell output:
.TP
\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP
summarize the program options.
.TP
\fB\-v\fP
write verbose information to stderr.
.TP
\fB\-\-reportfrequency\fP \fI[N]\fP
report every Nth new triangulation.
.TP
\fB\-d\fP
write debug information to stderr.
.TP
\fB\-\-heights\fP
write height vectors for triangulations to stdout (implies \fB\-\-regular\fP).
.TP
\fB\-\-flips\fP
write flips as pairs of triangulation IDs to stdout.
.PP
Options for checking input:
.TP
\fB\-\-checktriang\fP
check any given triangulations for correctness.
.PP
Options for reporting properties of discovered triangulations:
.TP
\fB\-\-flipdeficiency\fP
report flip deficiency in triangulations to stderr.
.TP
\fB\-\-checkfrequency\fP \fI[N]\fP
check for regularity every Nth triangulation and exit if regular.
.PP
Options concerning which triangulations are output (no influence on
exploration):
.TP
\fB\-\-cardinality\fP \fI[N]\fP
count/output only triangulations of cardinality N.
.TP
\fB\-\-nonregular\fP
count/output only non-regular triangulations.
.PP
Options concerning which triangulations are explored:
.TP
\fB\-\-regular\fP
consider only regular triangulations.
.TP
\fB\-\-noinsertion\fP
never use a point that is unused in the seed triangulation.
.TP
\fB\-\-reducepoints\fP
try to remove the number of use points, reported to stderr.
.TP
\fB\-\-keepcard\fP
never change the cardinality of triangulations by flipping.
.PP
Options concerning symmetries:
.TP
\fB\-\-affine\fP
assume that given symmetries are affine.
.TP
\fB\-\-nosymmetries\fP
ignore symmetries.
.PP
Options for dumping and reading the status of an interrupted computation:
.TP
\fB\-\-dump\fP
dump status of previous computation (last completed BFS round) into file.
.TP
\fB\-\-dumpfile\fP \fI[FILENAME]\fP
set dump file name to FILENAME (default: "TOPCOM.dump").
.TP
\fB\-\-dumpfrequency\fP \fI[N]\fP
dump each Nth completed BFS round (default: 1).
.TP
\fB\-\-dumprotations\fP \fI[N]\fP
dump into N rotating files.
.TP
\fB\-\-read\fP
read status of previous computation (last completed BFS round) from file.
.TP
\fB\-\-readfile\fP \fI[FILENAME]\fP
set dump file name to read to FILENAME (default: "TOPCOM.dump").
.PP
Options concerning internal behaviour:
.TP
\fB\-\-memopt\fP
try to reduce memory consumption.
.TP
\fB\-\-chirocache\fP \fI[N]\fP
set the chirotope cache to N elements.
.TP
\fB\-\-localcache\fP \fI[N]\fP
set the cache for local data to N elements.
.TP
\fB\-\-soplex\fP
use soplex for regularity checks.  Note that soplex is not available from
Fedora due to its non-free license.
