NAME

createsummaryScalar 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!):

A space-separated list of output variable names to be added to the output data tables.
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.
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.
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.
Process the given scalar file.
All scalars beginning with the given prefix are not written to output tables. This option can be used to filter out unneeded results.
Sets the directory where to find the scalar files.
Sets the directory where to write the summary tables to.
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.
Run in batch mode. The program is aborted on errors.
Run in interactive mode. On errors, the program is continued.
Sets the BZip2 compression level; 1=none, 9=highest (default).
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
