Command Line Utilities
======================

pysep comes with a few command line utilities which can be helpful.

Right now there are two of these which matter

#. generateTOPStables

   * This will take in a chemical abundance file and output a DSEP formated high
    temperature opacity table as queried from the Los Alamos web server.

#. interface.py
    
    * This will call the polytropic generation code to generate DSEP formated
      premain sequence models.


Opacity Generation
==================

Given some file called GS98.abun in the current working directory.
.. code:: bash
    generateTOPStables.py GS98.abun -p GS98_abun -d GS98_opac -o GS98_TOPS_opac -j 25

This command will use the chemical abundance file GS98.abun to query TOPS.
Results will be saved in the file GS_TOPS_opac and intermediate results will be
stored in the directory GS_opac. TOPS will be quireied with a maximum of 25
threads at a time (don't let this go to high, don't want to be kicked off!)

If you have already queried and you would just like to reconvert those results to
a DSEP format you can use
.. code:: bash
    generateTOPStables.py GS98.abun -p GS98_abun -d GS98_opac -o GS98_TOPS_opac --nofetch

This should hopefully let high temperature opacity tables be generated very
easily going fowards, assuming TOPS dose not change their website...
