Core Options

Wiki MarkupBy default the core application options are read from {{\[pyana\]}} section of the configuration file. If the option {{\-C}} {{{_}name{_}}} or {{\--config-name=}}{{{}{_}name{_}}} is given on the command line then additional section {{\[pyana.}}{{{}{_}name{_}{}}}{{\]\}} is read and values in that section override values from {{\[pyana\]}} section.

Here is the list of all command line and configuration file options availabale currently:

User Module Options

...

For every user module the configuration file may contain one or more configuration sections. The section header for the user module has format {{\[module\]}} or {{\[module:}}{{{}{_}name{_}{}}}{{\]}}. When defining the user modules either with {{\--module}} command line option or {{modules}} configuration file option one can optionally qualify the module name with a colon followed by arbitrary single-word string. Without this optional qualification the framework will load the user module and will use the options from {{\[module\]}} section to initialize the instance of the analysis class (as explained in [Initialization|#Initialization] section). If, on the other hand, the qualified name is used then the framework will initialize the instance with the options combined from the sections {{\[module\]}} and {{\[module:}}{{{}{_}name{_}{}}}{{\]}} with the latter section overriding the values from the former section. One could use several qualified forms of the same module name to produce several instances of the analysis class in the same job with different options.

Here is an almost identical example from Initialization section above which illustrates the inheritance and overriding of the user options:
