STAF Development Work - 2
KUIP as the STAF command line ultimately has to go
- Alternatives evaluated; Tcl seems the best candidate
- KUIP->Tcl trial conversion in STAF successfully done
- .idl -> (Tcl script idl_to_swig) -> .i -> (SWIG) -> .tcl, .c
- Migration must
- await availability of analysis tools in Tcl environment. Tcl based PAW would do the trick…existing? Or shared memory interoperability with PAW
- provide low learning threshold in moving from KUIP to Tcl command line
- examples of current mapping between KUIP and Tcl commands:
dio/newfilestream fee fee.xdf dioFileStream fee -this [dio newFileStream fee fee.xdf
stream/mode fee fee cget -mode
stream/state fee fee cget -state
stream/open fee w fee open WRITE
