Properties

The program moloch used for this purpose is currently being revamped, and will then be much simpler to use. The subsequent description for an older version may not work in all cases--sorry for that.

If you enter prop in the general menu, define first will check whether the data group $properties does already exist in your control file or in a file referenced therein. If this is not the case you will be asked to specify the file on which $properties shall be written:

data group $properties has not yet been specified
FOR INITIALIZING <moloch> KEYWORDS ENTER
  [return] : WRITE TO CONTROL FILE control (DEFAULT),   OR
  filename : WRITE TO ANOTHER FILE

Afterwards you will get the following submenu which allows you to control all possible actions of program moloch:

switch on one or more of the following options <i>
<i> = 1,..., 9
for switching off option <i>, specify -<i>
( 1) trace                                     off
( 2) moments                                   off
( 3) potential                                 off
( 4) cowan-griffin                             off
( 5) localization                              off
( 6) population analyses                       off
( 7) plot                                      off
( 8) firstorder                                off
selecting an already active option indicates that
suboptions shall be modified
* or q(uit) = quit | for help, type help <integer>

All options in this menu are selected by entering their number as indicated in the first column. For example, to switch on option trace enter 1. The flag off will then change to active. To switch off an option enter its negative number, e.g. -1 for trace. Most of the options require additional input and will therefore lead you to further submenus. These are briefly described below.
