# xmds2(1)

the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator v2

## NAME

xmds2 - the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator v2

## SYNOPSIS

**xmds2** \[options\] ***fileToBeParsed***

## DESCRIPTION

The program **xmds2** is a code generator that integrates equations.  You write them down in human readable form in an XML  file, and it goes away and writes and compiles a C++ program that integrates those equations as fast as  it can possibly be done in your architecture.

For information as to how to write a script for xmds, and how to solve problems in physics, mathematics and even finance and economics, read the associated documentation available from the xmds web site: http://www.xmds.org.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print help message

- **-o** *file***, --output-file=***file*

  This overrides the name of the output file to be generated

- **-v**, **--**verbose

  Verbose mode

- **-g**, **--debug**

  Debug mode. Compiler error messages report errors in the .cc file, not the .xmds file. Implies **--verbose**. Mostly useful when debugging xmds code generation.

- **-n**, **--no-compile**

  Only generate a source file, don't compile

- **--configure**

  Run configuration checks for compiling simulations

- **--reconfigure**

  Run configuration using the same options as used with the last time **--configure** was run with the additional arguments specified

- **--include-path** */path/to/include*

  *Add the path /path/to/include to the list of paths searched for include headers* *This option is only meaningful when used with* **--(re)configure**

- **--lib-path** */path/to/lib*

  *Add the path /path/to/lib to the list of paths searched for libraries* *This option is only meaningful when used with* **--(re)configure**
