RFM Log File | ![]() | ![]() |
Every run of the RFM will create a file rfm.log (plus any specified Run ID). This file logs all details of the particular run.
The file contains 3 types of record:
Status Messages, File Header Records
and Section Header Records.
Status Messages
Message Meaning
R-RFM: ...
General status (also printed to terminal)
I-ABCDEF: ...
Info from subroutine ABCDEF
W-ABCDEF: ...
Warning from subroutine ABCDEF
F-ABCDEF: ...
Fatal Error in subroutine
ABCDEF (also printed to
terminal)
File Header Records
Whenever an input file is opened, first a
info
status message is printed to the rfm.log file giving the name of the
file about to be opened, then, if opened successfully, the first record
of the file is also printed to the rfm.log file.
For this reason, the first record of each input file should contain some
meaningful information (preceded by !, indicating a comment).
Section Header Records
Each driver table record containing a
section header (eg *HDR ... )
is also printed in the rfm.log.
Similarly the profile identifiers
(eg *HGT) from atmospheric profiles
loaded in the
*ATM
section (these are indented a couple of spaces
to distinguish them from Driver Table sections).
These terminate with the *END section marker, after which the outputs
are all status messages.
