DESCRIPTION

15       FrePPLe  is a lightweight open source framework that easily and quickly
16       solves production planning problems. The primary focus is on  the  dis‐
17       crete manufacturing industry.
18
19       This program reads XML input data, and executes the modeling and Python
20       commands included in them.
21
22       The xml input can be provided in the following ways:
23         - Passing one or more XML files
24         - Passing one or more directories as arguments.
25           The program will process all files with the extension '.xml' found
26           in the directories in alphabetical order.
27         - When passing no file or directory arguments, input will be read
28           from the standard input. XML data can be redirected or piped to the
29           application.
