58 * Initializes the \Gromacs library for command-line use.
60 * \param[in] argc argc value passed to main().
61 * \param[in] argv argv array passed to main().
62 * \returns Reference to initialized program context object.
64 * This function is tailored for use in command line applications.
65 * For other usage, combination of gmx::init() and gmx::setProgramContext()
66 * provides more flexible initialization alternatives.
67 * Unlike gmx::init(), calls to this method cannot be nested.
69 * The command line arguments are communicated so that they can be
70 * parsed on each processor.
71 * \p argc and \p argv are passed to gmx::init(); see there for additional
72 * discussion. This method does not place any additional limitations, but
73 * generally there should be no need to pass NULL values.
75 * Does not throw. Terminates the program on out-of-memory error.
77 * This method is not thread-safe, since it is intended to be the first method
78 * called. See setProgramContext() for additional discussion.

86 * Deinitializes the \Gromacs library after initForCommandLine().
88 * Calls gmx::finalize() and additionally undoes the work done by
89 * initForCommandLine().

97 * Implements a main() method that runs a single module.
99 * \param argc \c argc passed to main().
100 * \param argv \c argv passed to main().
101 * \param module Module to run.
103 * This method allows for uniform behavior for binaries that only
104 * contain a single module without duplicating any of the
105 * implementation from CommandLineModuleManager (startup headers,
106 * common options etc.).
108 * The signature assumes that \p module construction does not throw
109 * (because otherwise the caller would need to duplicate all the
110 * exception handling code). It is possible to move the construction
111 * inside the try/catch in this method using an indirection similar to
112 * TrajectoryAnalysisCommandLineRunner::runAsMain(), but until that is
113 * necessary, the current approach leads to simpler code.

120 return gmx::runCommandLineModule(argc, argv, &module);
124 * Does not throw. All exceptions are caught and handled internally.
126 int runCommandLineModule(int argc, char *argv[],

136 * Implements a main() method that runs a given C main function.
138 * \param argc \c argc passed to main().
139 * \param argv \c argv passed to main().
140 * \param mainFunction The main()-like method to wrap.
142 * This method creates a dummy command line module that does its
143 * processing by calling \p mainFunction. It then runs this module as with
144 * gmx::runCommandLineModule().
145 * This allows the resulting executable to handle common options and do
146 * other common actions (e.g., startup headers) without duplicate code
147 * in the main methods.
149 * \p mainFunction should call parse_common_args() to process its command-line
