The options for running the OptionMatrix programs are:
optionmatrix option …
optionmatrix_console option …
With no options, optionmatrix launches the GTK+ (GUI) version of OptionMatrix and optionmatrix_console launches the Curses (console, DOS) version.
optionmatrix and optionmatrix_console support the following options:
Print an informative help message on standard output and exit.
Print the version number and licensing information of OptionMatrix on standard output and exit.
List the names of all financial models to standard output and exit.
List source code file names of models not accessible by the application to standard output and exit. If a model’s source code is accessible the optionmatrix program can display source code from the running application.
Force creation of debug log file optionmatrix.log
Iterate through and test all models to standard output and exit.
Iterate through and test all models in quiet mode and exit.
Time test a specific model number to standard output and exit. 200000 executions of model are made and timed by default.
Set number of executions a model will be time tested for (default 200000)
Set model source code directory. The GTK+ version of the application can display source code.
Override the datadir variable used for the path to icons / images.
The option --debug ( -d ) is the only option used by both optionmatrix and optionmatrix_console applications. The options --Directory ( -D ) and --datadir ( -x ) are exclusive to optionmatrix. The remaining command line options do not launch an interactive application and only create standard output and exit.
