6.1 File overview

Table 6.1 shows a list of all files necessary to run CO5BOLD. Figure 9.1 gives similar information but is not quite up to date. Executing the Makefile produces an executable rhd.exe. Its name can of course be changed afterwards. The names of the control files rhd.par, rhd.stop, rhd.cont, and rhd.dump and of the status file rhd.done cannot be changed (without modification of the source code). The names of EOS, opacity, and CO5BOLD data files can be chosen freely in the parameter file rhd.par. Table 6.1 only contains dummy names.

Table 6.1: List of all control and data files of CO5BOLD with the file name, where e.g., ``rhd'' and ``data'' are in most cases only placeholders for the real model or data table name, a reference to a section with a more detailed description of the file, a column indicating whether the file is used for input or output, the type of the file distinguishing between executable, control, data, and status files, and a (slightly) more detailed description.
