NAME

SetOutputFileRoot - Return the root name for an output file.

SYNOPSIS

SetOutputFileRoot

Optional Arguments:

-tmp
-map

DESCRIPTION

Return a unique, consistent root filename for a permanent file. The form of the file name is usually project_jobid where project is the name of the user's current project and jobid is the job number. The application programmer should append any further parts of the name and the file extension to this returned text string.

By default the filename will have the directory path of the user's current project directory, unless the argument -tmp sets the directory path to the CCP4i TEMPORARY directory (this is usually the same as $CCP4_SCR). -map sets the directory path to the user's preferred directory for maps. The -map argument is liable to be used in conjunction with the MAP_DEFAULT keyword in the AddOutputFile procedure.
