Users can edit the xml files directly to change the variable
values. However, modification of variables in the xml scripts is best
done using the xmlchange script in the $CASEROOT
directory since it performs variable error checking as part of
changing values in the xml files. To invoke the xmlchange script:
xmlchange -file [name] -id [name] -val [name] -help -silent -verbose -file |
-fileThe xml file to be edited.
-idThe xml variable name to be changed.
-valThe intended value of the variable associated with the -id argument.
Note: If you want a single quotation mark ("'", also called an apostrophe) to appear in the string provided by the -val option, you must specify it as "'".
-silentTurns on silent mode. Only fatal messages will be issued.
-verboseEchoes all settings made by configure.
-helpPrint usage info to STDOUT.
