DESCRIPTION

19       ROOTs Object-Oriented Technologies.
20
21       root is an interactive interpreter of C++ code. It uses the ROOT frame‐
22       work. For more information on ROOT, please refer to
23
24       An extensive Users Guide is available from that site (see below).
25

OPTIONS

27       -?, -h, --help Show summary of options.
28
29       -b     Run in batch mode without graphics
30
31       -e     Execute the command passed between single quotes
32
33       -n     Do not execute logon and logoff macros as specified in .rootrc
34
35       --notebook
36              execute ROOT notebook
37
38       -t     enable thread-safety and implicit multi-threading (IMT)
39
40       -q     Exit after processing command line macro files
41
42       -l     Do not show splash screen
43
44       Data files are opened and accessible in root as _file0, _file1 ...
45
46       Macro files are either intrepreted (filename provided  alone)  or  com‐
47       piled (with + added to the filename).  Afterwards the function with the
48       same name as the filename (without extension) in the macro file is exe‐
49       cuted (eg. void macro() in a file macro.C).
50
51       Compilation  is  done on-demand if the macro is newer than a previously
52       generated shared library. Two plus signs (macro.C++) force a recompila‐
53       tion.  Adding  O  after  a plus results in an optimised build, adding g
54       adds debug symbols (eg. macro.C+Og).
55
56       Macro files, data files and -e expressions are processed in  the  order
57       in  which  they  are  provided.  If  a  macro relies on the presence of
58       _file0, then root should be called with root data.root macro.C.
