🎀 Welcome to the AEVOL(1) User Manual 🎀

Okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is the User Manual for Aevol, and it's giving everything you need to run it like a pro 🧚

✨ NAME ✨

Aevol - an in silico experimental evolution platform 🧬

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

aevol_run -h | --help
aevol_run -V | --version
aevol_run [-b TIMESTEP] [-e TIMESTEP | -n NB_TIMESTEP] [-p NB_THREADS]
[-vwx]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so Aevol is a simulation platform where you let populations of digital organisms evolve in different conditions, and then you get to study experimentally the mechanisms behind the structuration of the genome and the transcriptome. It's literally giving science and I'm obsessed 💅

• aevol_run — runs an aevol simulation. That's the main character right there 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — shows you the help text, then exits. Bye bye 👋
• -V, --version — prints the version number, then exits 🔥
• -b, --begin TIMESTEP — sets the time t0 you want to resume the simulation at. If you don't pick one, it defaults to whatever is read in last_gener.txt 🦋
• -e, --end TIMESTEP — sets the time where the simulation ends 🌈
• -n, --nb-timesteps NB_TIMESTEPS — how many timesteps you want simulated. Default is 1000 if you don't say ✨
• -p, --parallel — runs on NB_THREADS threads. Use -1 if you want the system default 💜
• -v, --verbose — be verbose, bestie, tell me everything 🗣️
• -w, --wait — pauses after loading so you can breathe 🧚
• -x, --noX — don't display X outputs when it starts. Also, send SIGUSR1 to switch X output on/off 🍓
