rivet(1) Robust Independent Validation of Experiment and Theory

SYNOPSIS

rivet [options] myfifo

OPTIONS

--version
show program's version number and exit.
-h, --help
show this help message and exit.
-l NATIVE_LOG_STRS
set a log level in the Rivet library.
-a ANA, --analysis=ANA
add an analysis to the processing list.
--list-analyses
show the list of available analyses' names. With -v, it shows the descriptions, too.
--list-used-analyses
list the analyses used by this command (after subtraction of inappropriate ones).
--show-analysis=SHOW_ANALYSES, --show-analyses=SHOW_ANALYSES
show the details of an analysis.
--analysis-path=PATH
specify the analysis search path (cf. $RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH).
--analysis-path-append=PATH
append to the analysis search path (cf. $RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH).
--pwd
append the current directory (pwd) to the analysis search path (cf. $RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH).
-H HISTOFILE, --histo-file=HISTOFILE
specify the output histo file path (default = Rivet.aida).
-x XS, --cross-section=XS
specify the signal process cross-section in pb.
-n NUM, --nevts=NUM
restrict the max number of events to read.
--runname=NAME
give an optional run name, to be prepended as a 'top level directory' in histo paths.
--ignore-beams
Ignore input event beams when checking analysis compatibility.
--event-timeout=NSECS
max time in whole seconds to wait for an event to be generated from the specified source (default = 21600)
--run-timeout=NSECS
max time in whole seconds to wait for the run to finish. This can be useful on batch systems such as the LCG Grid where tokens expire on a fixed wall-clock and can render long Rivet runs unable to write out the final histogram file (default = unlimited).
--histo-interval=HISTO_WRITE_INTERVAL
[experimental!] specify the number of events between histogram file updates. Default is to only write out at the end of the run. Note that intermediate histograms will be those from the analyze step only: analysis finalizing is currently not executed until the end of the run.
-v, --verbose
print debug (very verbose) messages.
-q, --quiet
be very quiet.

EXAMPLES

mkfifo hepmc.fifo
my-generator -o myfifo &
rivet --analysis=ANALYSIS_NAME hepmc.fifo

ENVIRONMENT:

RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH
list of paths to be searched for plugin analysis libraries at runtime.
RIVET_REF_PATH
list of paths to be searched for reference data files.
RIVET_INFO_PATH
list of paths to be searched for analysis metadata files.
