NAME

mkiraf - Setup the IRAF environment for a user

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Creates the parameter directory, image directory and cache directory for the use with IRAF CL, and optionally create a local copy of the IRAF CL startup file login.cl .

Within IRAF CL, these directory have the names uparm$ , imdir$ , and cache$ .

Without the -d | --default flag, the parameter directory uparm is created in the local directory, triggering a parameter storage locally. If no local parameter directory exists, a general user specific parameter storage in ${HOME}/.iraf/uparm is used. The image directory imdir and the cache directory cache are always created in ${HOME}/.iraf/ .

OPTIONS

-d, --default

Create the upar file in the user specific directory ${HOME}/.iraf instead of the local directory.

-i, --init

Initialize an empty uparm directory, removing old parameter settings. If neither the -i | --init nor the -n | --noinit is given, the command asks whether the upar directory should be initialized.

-n, --noinit

Do not nitialize the uparm directory if it exists, keeping old parameter settings. If neither the -i | --init nor the -n | --noinit is given, the command asks whether the upar directory should be initialized.

-c, --copy

Create a copy of the login.cl file in the local directory, or (if the -d | --default flag was given), in the directory ${HOME}/.iraf . These copies are only needed if local changes shall be applied.

-q, --quiet

Suppress output messages

BUGS

IRAF should use XDG conform user directories in ${HOME}/.cache , ${HOME}/.local and ${HOME}/.config .
