  • Utilities are used to manipulate or analyse data, either during runtime or in the post-processing phase.
  • Some of the utilities are non-specific to pipe flow, e.g. code for the GMRES algorithm.
  • Almost all modifications can/should be made via a utility, rather than altering the core code (i.e. avoid editing the contents of the program/ directory wherever possible).
  • Utilities are kept in utils/.


Building

To build, in Makefile, set UTIL = utilname (omitting the .f90 extension), then type

> make
> make install
> make util
> mv utilname.out ...

The penultimate command creates utilname.out.

It is good practice to do a 'make install' to generate a main.info file to keep alongside the executable.
