# rheolef(2rheolef)

reference manual (rheolef-7.2)

## NAME

rheolef - reference manual (rheolef-7.2)

## DESCRIPTION

The reference manual is divided into sections:

- 1\.

  **command**

- 2\.

  **class**

- 3\.

  **function**

- 4\.

  **linalgclass**

- 5\.

  **linalgfunction**

- 6\.

  **femclass**

- 7\.

  **utilclass**

- 8\.

  **internalclass**

- 9\.

  **internalfunction**

Casual users probably need concern themselves with only the three first sections: unix commands and main classes and functions. Advanced users would be interested by *linalg* (sparse distributed linear algebra) and utility classes and functions, while Rheolef's developers would be involved by internal details.

The reference manual is available both on the Rheolef web site and as individual unix **[man(1)](/man/1.md)** pages.

**command** :

```
    man geo
    man field
```

 **class** :

```
    man form
    man problem
    man 2 field
```

 Note that `field` has both a command and class entry: the `2` section number option allows one to select the class one. The same occurs for the `geo` and `branch` classes.

**function** :

```
    man integrate
    man interpolate
    man damped_newton
```

 Finally, for a fully developed table of contents:

```
    man -k rheolef
```
