**CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 4 (Variables): pflags**
===== Pflags -- Integer variable controlling processor run-time options =====
**usage:  pflags = value**

PFLAGS, an internally defined integer variable, controls several general
aspects of CIGAL's operation.  The value of the PFLAGS parameter can be
changed at any time and remains set until it is explicitly modified again.
The meaning of the different PFLAGS settings is summarized below; adding
values combines levels.  The default value for all flags is 0.
