snapsort - sort particles of an N-body snapshot
snapsort in=in_file
out=out_file [parameter=value] ...
snapsort sorts the bodies of
a snapshot by a user-specified ranking. Optionally, a different sort engine
can be invoked.
The following parameters are recognized.
- in=in_file
- Input data is read from in_file, which must be in snapshot(5NEMO)
format.
Default: required.
- out=out_file
- Sorted output data is written to out_file.
No default.
- rank=body_rank
- Expression used to compute the rank of each body.
See bodytrans(1NEMO)
for the form of body_rank. Default: etot.
- times=time_range
- Only frames within time_range will be sorted. Default: all.
- sort=sort_engine
- Select the sort engine to use. Sorry, no minimum match here. If the code
has been compiled with standard the flogger software (see $NEMO/usr/lib/sort),
a number of sort engines are available (see below). Else, only the standard
qsort(3)
is available. Default: [qsort].
The default UNIX engine
qsort (a quick sort) is always available. If your friendly NEMO manager
has compiled in a number of additional ones, the following list may be
a complete one: (to get your current local list, run snapsort with debug=1,
which will display the names it’s trying. Use some foolish name for sort=
to get it to display all of them, and then fail.
