Table 3-1: Command Line Options for the wave Command describes possible options.
Command Line Option | Description |
|---|---|

–r or –rt plus filename | Start PV‑WAVE in runtime mode. The previously compiled application stored in filename starts automatically. |
note | Command line options are not case-sensitive and can be entered in either lower, mixed, or upper case. Several of PV‑WAVE’s command line options can be combined on one command line. |
Note | You can create a startup message using the message of the day (motd) file. Refer to Message of the Day File for more information. |
Standard I/O and Error Redirection
PV‑WAVE versions 6.0 and earlier on Windows allowed command line flags for standard I/O and error redirection. In subsequent versions, these flags are no longer supported. Instead, use standard I/O redirection on the command line. For example, the previous command line flags:
wave -i infile -o outfile -e errfile
should be replaced with:
wave < infile > outfile 2> errfile
