usage: fscan [MODE] [infiles] [options]

Most arguments in the fScan command line are processed in order, left to right. Exceptions are -verbose and -display, which can appear anywhere on the line.

MODE refers to global parameters that control how fScan is being used. MODE arguments can be:

gui                    ; local interactive
server                 ; host server -- waits for clients to connect
client                 ; remote interactive -- connects to host server
daemon                 ; like server, run as daemon process
help

Default mode is GUI if no arguments or if -D option is specified; otherwise mode is CMDLINE.

Multiple INFILE's can be specified as inputs; INFILES are identified by the “-i” flag, but this flag is optional if the filename appears before any other option (i.e., is preceded only by MODE or other INFILEs – no flags starting with a '-').

Each INFILE can be followed by multiple “-h”, “-D”, or “-s” options to modify header values or select subsets of the data. (Remember an INFILE that appears after any “-” options must be identified by a “-i” flag.)

Arguments are processed in 3 phases:

• 1st pass: MODE, -options, -display, -verbose
• 2nd pass: INFILES, -input, -header, -s, -wait, -join
• 3rd pass: other options
