simulate(1)

🦋 simulate(1) — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so real talk: this is simulate, from the General Commands Manual section, and if you're here you probably typed man simulate and now you're mine. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

simulate — C++ Batch Travel Market Simulator 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

simulate [--prefix] [-v|--version] [-h|--help] [-b|--builtin]
[-s|--schedule <path-to-schedule-input>] [-l|--log <path-to-output-log-file>]

like, that's the short version. the full menu is right there below and it is long, we love that for us 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

simulate is a small batch program that shows you how to use the TvlSim library. it's giving "reference implementation but make it cute". 🎀

simulate accepts the following options:

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

fr fr, read every one of these. i did NOT type them out for you to skim. 😭

• --prefix — shows you the TvlSim installation prefix. where does it live? this tells you. 🏠
• -v, --version — prints the version of TvlSim that's currently installed to standard output. iconic. 💅
• -h, --help — spits out that message and shows you the usage. your bestie when you're lost. 🫶
• -b, --builtin — okay so the sample BOM tree can go two ways: it's either built-in, or it gets parsed from input files. if you pick that latter route, then you have to specify those input files too (e.g., -d/--demand, -s/--schedule, -o/--ond, -f/--fare, -y/--yield). when this option is NOT selected, the simulate program just builds a simple use case straight from internal hard-coded parameters (that's the demand distribution details and the resource/cabin capacities). no files, no stress, we vibe. ✨
• -S, --seed <random-seed> — the seed for the random generation 🎲
• -r, --runs <nb-of-simulation-runs> — how many simulation runs you want 🔁
• -s, --schedule <path-to-schedule-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the flight schedules. ✈️
• -o, --ond <path-to-ond-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the O&D definitions 🗺️
• -f, --frat5 <path-to-frat5-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the FRAT5 curve 📈
• -D, --ff_disutility <path-to-fare-family-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the fare family (FF) disutility curve 💸
• -y, --yield <path-to-yield-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the yields 💰
• -f, --fare <path-to-fare-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the fares 🎟️
• -d, --demand <path-to-demand-input-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the (CVS) input file that specifies the demand distributions 📊
• -l, --log <path-to-output-log-file> — path (absolute or relative) of the output log file 📝
• -G, --demandgeneration <demand-generation-method> — the method used to generate the demand (that's the booking requests, iykyk): either a Poisson Process (e.g., P) or Statistics Order (e.g., S) 🧚
• -u, --user <database-user> — SQL database hostname (e.g., tvlsim) 🗄️
• -p, --passwd <database-passwd> — SQL database hostname (e.g., tvlsim) 🔐
• -H, --host <database-host-name> — SQL database hostname (e.g., localhost) 🖥️
• -P, --port <database-host-port> — SQL database port (e.g., 3306) 🚪
• -n, --dbname <database-name> — SQL database name (e.g., tvlsim) 📚
• -q, --query <travel-query> — query word list (not used for now) 🚧

heads up bestie: see the output of the simulate --help command for the default options. the manpage is not gonna hold your hand on that one. 💀

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 💅 this came out of the My Project collection (yeah, that's the source, and simulate(1) is the page itself) — mwah, go simulate something, ily, bye 🎀✨🦋
