Tip
titleSLIC Command Line Interface

Unlike most other packages, the The SLIC command line interface to
SLIC simply maps directly to Geant4 commands. This keeps the interface
consistent. This also means that the order of the switches matters,
because it can affect Geant4's current statemacro commands.

To see available command line options, invoke the help command.

...

No Format
slic -g /path/to/geometry/file -n

The -z option tells SLIC to initialize the simulator at that
point and -n will start an interactive session.

Tip
titleSLIC Initialization

SLIC must be initialized directly by the user, either by executing
the /run/initialize command from a macro or using the -z
option in the command line options. In the latter case, the
command option initializes the simulator in the order that the
switch was invoked at the command line.

Alternately, you may start up in interactive mode and manually input
all required commands.

No Format
slic -n
