Basic FTOOL Parameter Usage

Automatic Parameters:
  par_name [ = value ] type
Hidden Parameters:
  (par_name = value ) type
    Where "par_name" is the name of the parameter, "value" is the default value, and "type" is the type of the parameter. The type is enclosed in square brackets.
Examples:
  infile [file]
    Describes an automatic (queried) file-type parameter with no default value.
     
  (plot = yes) [bool]
    Describes a hidden bool-type parameter named plot, whose default value is yes (true).
     

Note: To set hidden parameters at runtime, specify them explicitly at the command line; for example:

gtobssim tstart=900
