pget [-abort] toolname parameter [ parameter2 ... ]
`pget' gets the value of the specified parameter(s) from the given
parameter file. All redirections and shell evaluations are performed.
Return the value of the infile parameter
Returns the value of the infile and opt parameters, one per line.
pget dmlist infile.p_value
Will return the actual string stored in the parameter file for
the value field of the parameter. Redirections and shell evaluations
are NOT performed.
The '-abort' option causes pget to exit with an error when a parameter
file specifies an inappropriate value. For example, if blah.par
contained
boo,i,h,notaninteger,,,"bad value"
the above command would exit with an error, rather than prompting for
a valid value (as it would if '-abort' were not given). This can be
useful in scripts, where prompting for a valid value could cause a
script to hang indefinitely.
Parameter file from which to retrieve data
Name (plus optional path) of parameter file to get values from
Name of parameter
Name of parameter to retrieve. Optionally can use the
various parameter attributes listed below to return those values.
