💖 rheolef — the reference manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're doing the rheolef manual page. this is section 2rheolef of the manual, and it's literally the reference manual for rheolef-7.2. yes, the whole thing. main character energy only. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

rheolef — the reference manual (rheolef-7.2). that's it, that's the name, periodt. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the reference manual is split into sections, and there are nine of them, no skips, no skips allowed:

  1. command
  2. class
  3. function
  4. linalgclass
  5. linalgfunction
  6. femclass
  7. utilclass
  8. internalclass
  9. internalfunction

ngl, if you're just a casual user you only need the first three — that's your unix commands plus the main classes and functions. the advanced users are the ones who want the linalg stuff (sparse distributed linear algebra, iykyk) and the utility classes and functions. and then there's the rheolef developers, who are out here dealing with internal details. different vibes, all valid. 🦋

the reference manual lives in two places: on the Rheolef web site, and as individual unix man(1) pages. both. iconic behaviour honestly.

here's how you peek at a command:

man geo
man field

and here's class:

man form
man problem
man 2 field
ok so heads up bestie: field has both a command entry and a class entry. that little 2 section number option is what lets you pick the class one specifically. this exact same situation happens for the geo and branch classes too, so don't be confused when you see double. 🙈

function, coming right up:

man integrate
man interpolate
man damped_newton

and finally, if you want the fully developed table of contents — the whole menu, the entire buffet — it's:

man -k rheolef

🌸 IMPLEMENTATION 🌸

this documentation was generated from the file main/lib/rheolef.h. yes, a real file, not vibes. 🌈

aaaand that's a wrap, bestie. this was rheolef, Version 7.2, hanging out in the rheolef(2rheolef) section of the manual. go read some man pages, you're doing amazing. 🫶✨🎀
