5 Apps

The ESMF source distribution contains a few executables that are built on top of the ESMF library during installation. These executables are referred to as apps. Apps are command line tools intended to be used by the end user of ESMF. ESMF follows the GNU conventions for command line tools. There are currently three mandatory command line options that every distributed app must implement:

--help      Print a help message, documenting all of the available command line arguments and their usage.
--version   Print the version of ESMF in long format and the copyright message.
-V          Print just the version string of ESMF.
