✨ PYRAF ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pyraf manual page — that's section 1, User Commands, and she is iconic. 💅 this is the whole vibe, let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pyraf — Python interface for IRAF 🐍🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pyraf [options] [savefile]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: PyRAF is a command language for running IRAF tasks, and it's based on the Python scripting language. that's the whole thing. it gives you the ability to run IRAF tasks in an environment that has all the power and flexibility of Python. literally the best of both worlds, no cap. 🔥

and the best part? PyRAF can be installed along with an existing IRAF installation. so once you've got both, you get to choose — run either PyRAF or the IRAF CL. your call, main character. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c, --comand=<cmd> — command passed in as a string. any valid PyRAF command works here. (yes the flag is spelled exactly like that, i do not make the rules 💀)
  • -e, --ecl — turn on ECL mode 🌀
  • -h, --help — prints the help message. classic. helpful. we love her. 🙈
  • -i, --no--commandwrapper — no command line wrapper, just run the standard interactive Python shell. (double dash in the middle, she's quirky like that 🎀)
  • -m, --commandwrapper — run the command line wrapper to provide extra capabilities. this one is the default, periodt. ⭐
  • -n, --nosplash — no splash screen during startup. also peep -x if you're curious 👀
  • -s, --silent — silent initialization, meaning it does not print startup messages. quiet luxury. 💅
  • -V, --version — print version info and exit. short and sweet. 👋
  • -v, --verbose — set verbosity level. and bestie, it may be repeated to increase verbosity. stack 'em up. 🌈
  • -x, --nographics — no graphics will be attempted or loaded during the session. nothing to see here, literally. 🚫🖼️
  • -y, --ipython — run the IPython shell instead of the normal PyRAF command shell. treat yourself. 💜
heads up: the defaults and spellings above are exactly as written — don't go "fixing" the flags, iykyk. 😭
