Sample programs

A small number of sample programs is distributed together with PIL library (and built when compiling library). They are :

• pset - PIL's equivalent for IRAF/XPI pset program. Sets value of parameter in arbitrary parameter file.
• pget - PIL's equivalent for IRAF/XPI pget program. Read value of parameter in arbitrary parameter file and display it on screen.
• plist - PIL's equivalent for IRAF/XPI plist program. Dumps contents of parameter file on screen.
• pil_lint - program checks given parameter file and reports any errors encountered.
• pil_gen_c_code - given parameter file program dumps (to stdout) source of C program which can read that parameter file.
• pilcdemo - sample C application (see source code for more info)
• pilfdemo - sample F90 application (see source code for more info)
• cvector - test program for vector support
• ISDCcopy - sample CTS compliant application (use make ISDCcopy to build it - requires support-sw installed)

Most of those demo program are for testing purposes, and do not perform any useful calculations. Refer to chapters and for information how to use PIL library.
