Command line arguments

The command line arguments for sta are shown below.

Usage: sta [-help] [-version] [-no_init] [-no_splash] [-threads count|max] [-exit] cmd_file
  -help              show help and exit
  -version           show version and exit
  -no_init           do not read .sta init file
  -threads count|max use count threads
  -no_splash         do not show the license splash at startup
  -exit              exit after reading cmd_file
  cmd_file           source cmd_file

When OpenSTA starts up, commands are first read from the user initialization file ~/.sta if it exists. If a Tcl command file cmd_file is specified on the command line, commands are read from the file and executed before entering an interactive Tcl command interpreter. If -exit is specified the application exits after reading cmd_file. Use the Tcl exit command to exit the application. The -threads option specifies how many parallel threads to use. Use -threads max to use one thread per processor.
