virtual void gmx::ICommandLineModule::init ( CommandLineModuleSettings settings)
pure virtual

Initializes the module and provides settings for the runner.

This will be called before run(), and can be used to adjust initialization that the runner does.

This method is currently not called when writing the help.

virtual int gmx::ICommandLineModule::run ( int  argc,
char *  argv[] 
)
pure virtual

Parameters
[in]argcNumber of elements in argv.
[in]argvCommand-line arguments.
Exceptions
