Starting ctsimtext
CTSimText can be invoked via three different
methods.
- CTSimText can executed without any parameters. In that case,
CTSimText offers a command-line to enter the function-names and
their parameters. The output of the command is displayed. Further
commands may be given to CTSimText. The shell is exited by the
quit command. CTSimText uses the
readline library on UNIX and Linux platforms
to provide command history processing.
- CTSimText can also be called to
execute a single command. This is especially useful for batch
files containing multiple CTSimText commands. This is invoked by
calling
ctsimtext function-name parameters....
- Using operating systems that support soft or hard linking of
files (such as UNIX and Linux), the executable file CTSimText can
be linked to the function names. This is automatically done by
the installation program and the rpm manager. Thus, to use CTSimText with the
function name pjrec, the below command can be executed:
pjrec parameters...
as a shortcut to the equivalent command
ctsimtext pjrec parameters...
