lmod

load a package of local models

The lmod command loads a user model package. Further details are given in Appendix C.

Syntax: lmod <name>[<directory>]

As with initpackage, the <name> argument is the name of the model package being loaded, and the <directory> is its location, defaulting to the setting of LOCAL_MODEL_DIRECTORY given in the user's Xspec.init file.

lmod performs the following tasks:

  • loads the library corresponding to the package named <name>
  • reads the model description file supplied by the initpackage command for the library
  • adds the new model components to the list of models recognized by the model command

Note that lmod requires that the user has write-access to <directory> (please see Appendix C for details).

This command is now also supported on Cygwin.
