Some commands (e.g. HEADERMOD, STATUS
) use positionally independent
TAG=VALUE syntax. Tags are explained in the explain files of commands that
support this feature.
NeXtMidas summarizes the commands it recognizes in a text
dictionary. The dictionary format supports
keyword-named-parameters as a general feature of the language. The NeXtMidas
dictionary is commands.cnf
.
As the central repository for parameter names and default values, the NeXtMidas
command dictionary eliminates the need to search primitive source code to
determine command-specific conventions.
