BIN Flag

RFM Flags: Write Output Spectra as Binary Files

Enabled

Disabled

Restrictions
None.

Notes
  1. The main advantages of writing outputs as binary files are smaller file size (typically 1/3 size of plain text output) and faster I/O. The disadvantage is a slightly more difficult file to read, particularly if switching between different Fortran compilers or if using Python.

  2. This Flag does not affect the diagnostic output files which are always written as ASCII files.
