Appendix B<br />

Command syntax<br />

B.1 Commands and command schemes<br />

The actual commands of the user to <strong>SWAN</strong> must be given in one file containing all commands.<br />

This file is called the command file. It must be presented to <strong>SWAN</strong> in ASCII. It<br />

is important to make a distinction between the description of the commands in this User<br />

Manual and the actual commands in the command file. The descriptions of the commands<br />

in this User Manual are called command schemes. Each such command scheme includes<br />

a diagram and a description explaining the structure of the command and the meaning of<br />

the keyword(s) and of the data in the command. The proper sequence of the commands<br />

is given in Section 4.2.<br />

B.2 Command<br />

B.2.1<br />

Keywords<br />

Each command instructs <strong>SWAN</strong> to carry out a certain action which <strong>SWAN</strong> executes before<br />

it reads the next command. A command must always start with a keyword (which is also<br />

the name of the command) which indicates the primary function of that command; see list<br />

in Section 4.1). A simple command may appear in its command scheme as:<br />

KEYword data<br />

A command may contain more than one keyword (which refines the instructions to <strong>SWAN</strong>),<br />

e.g.,<br />

KEY1word KEY2word data<br />

where KEY2word is the second keyword.<br />
