Command line options

Uppercase options modify some of the code's default settings. They can be used when launching the code but also when generating input files. To see the list of options, do:

$ yambo -H
Tool: yambo 4.1.2 rev.14024
Description: A shiny pot of fun and happiness [C.D.Hogan] 
-J <opt>	:Job string identifier
-V <opt>	:Input file verbosity
                [opt=RL,kpt,sc,qp,io,gen,resp,all,par]
-F <opt>	:Input file
-I <opt>	:Core I/O directory
-O <opt>	:Additional I/O directory
-C <opt>	:Communications I/O directory
-D		:DataBases properties
-W <opt>	:Wall Time limitation (1d2h30m format)
-Q		:Don't launch the text editor
-M		:Switch-off MPI support (serial run)
-N		:Switch-off OpenMP support (single thread run)
[Lower case options]

These options are extremely important to master if you want to use yambo productively. The meaning of several options is clear from the help menu: try a table

$ yambo -F yambo.in_HF -x 

others deserve a closer look
