Description

Type commandRun([options]) to run AUTO with the given options. There are four possible options:

    Long name   Short name    Description
    -------------------------------------------
    equation    e             The equations file
    constants   c             The AUTO constants file
    solution    s             The restart solution file
    homcont     h             The Homcont parameter file
Options which are not explicitly set retain their previous value. For example one may type: commandRun(e='ab',c='ab.1') to use 'ab.c' as the equations file and c.ab.1 as the constants file (if you are using the default filename templates).

You can also specify an sv='xxx' option to save to b.xxx, and so on, or ap to append, or AUTO Constants, e.g., DS=0.05, or IRS=2. Special values for DS are '+' (forwards) and '-' (backwards).

Type commandRun('name') load all files with base 'name'. This does the same thing as running commandRun(e='name',c='name,s='name',h='name').

run('name','save') does the same thing as running run(e='name',c='name,s='name',h='name',sv='save').
