PREPAREHISTFACTORY(1)

💖 PREPAREHISTFACTORY 💖

ok so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's about a little script called prepareHistFactory that basically sets up your whole vibe before you touch the HistFactory tools. she's not complicated, she's just helpful. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

prepareHistFactory — creates a working directory for the HistFactory tools 🌸

like. that's the whole job. she makes you a folder. and it's iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

prepareHistFactory [dir_name]

that's it. one optional lil argument. no cap. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so listen, prepareHistFactory is a simple script that prepares a working area for you — and yes, it will create the directory dir_name if you specified one. she's proactive like that. main character energy fr fr.

so inside that directory dir_name, she makes you three directories, all relative to the path you gave her:

• results/
• data/
• config/

periodt. those are the three. 🫶

and then? she doesn't just stop there, bestie, she copies stuff:

• she copies HistFactorySchema.dtd into the config/ directory ✨
• she also copies the example XML files into the config/ directory ✨
• and <em>additionally</em>, she copies a root file into the data/ directory, so it can be used with the examples 🌸

once all of that's done, you're literally ready to go — you can run the example hist2workspace input.xml, or you can edit the XML files and start a whole new project. it's giving "set up and slay" 💅

ngl the vibe check here is: she sets the stage, you do the physics. 👑

👑 ORIGINAL AUTHORS 👑

• Dominique Tardif
• and Kyle Cranmer
