To do this, the file name should be preceded by an `at' sign (@
).
For example, assuming the file name contains the text
chicyg , then
% histo in=@nameis equivalent to
% histo in=chicygThese
@
files can be nested, and multiple @
files can appear on a
line (separated by commas). Indeed an @
file and other parameter
values can be intermixed, separated by commas.
The @
file can contain many lines. An end-of-line is treated like
a comma.
As described in Section 2.6, parameter input can also be made easier by using the -f flag when Miriad commands are given directly from the shell.
