B.1 Introduction

We assume that the AUTON learning algorithms program has been built, and that the executable is named ./afc. All commands in this document are indented as shown below.

./afc action args

Names of arguments are written as argname, while actual argument values are written as argval. The example command above shows the canonical form for running the ./afc executable. The first argument must be an action, as described in Section , followed by a list of arguments. The argument list is keyword-based, meaning that the order of the arguments is unimportant. However, some arguments consist of a keyword and a value, with the value occurring immediately after the keyword. A ``dataset'' is a file containing data one wishes to analyze, or the filename of such a file. The set of keywords which affect the action depends not only upon the action, but also on other keywords. The following sections will describe the actions and arguments in more detail.
