Configuration file

Several configuration inputs can be passed to RSIM through the configuration file on the simulation input (which can be redirected using ``-0'' or ``-z'' above). Sample configuration files are provided in the inputs directory of the distribution. Additional files can be generated with the aid of the Javascript utility rsimconfig.html in the inputs directory of the distribution. This utility can be used with any WWW-browser that supports Javascript (e.g. Netscape 2.0 or higher): the utility produces a list of configuration parameters for RSIM in the browser window. The configuration parameters produced should be copied from the browser window (using cut, copy, and paste) into a file that can be used as the RSIM configuration file.

The parameters that can be specified in the configuration file are given below. Each parameter in the input file will be followed by either a non-negative integer or a string, as specified below. The parameters are not case sensitive. If any one of these is not included, RSIM will use the default value specified in the list below (thus, if only default configuration is desired, the simulation input should be redirected to /dev/null). If any parameter is listed multiple times in the configuration file, the last one specifies the actual value used.

If the same input file will be used for both the simulator input and the application input, the configuration parameters should be given first, and the pseudo-parameter STOPCONFIG should be used to separate the simulator input from the application input. As with all other parameters, STOPCONFIG must be followed by an argument; however, this argument is ignored in this case.
