NAME

       siconos_compare - Numerically compare the contents of two Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation files.

DESCRIPTION

       usage: siconos_compare [-h] [--columns <colspec>] [--start <time>]

       [--end <time>] [--interval <time>]
              [--threshold <float>] [-V] <file> <file>

       Description:  Numerically  compare  the  contents of two Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation files. Sole
       output on standard output shall be the maximum difference between the columns  selected  for  comparison.
       Return  code  0  will  be  returned if maximum difference is less than the threshold, otherwise 1 will be
       returned if greater, or 2 if the files could not be opened  or  do  not  contain  the  necessary  tables.
       Non-matching time indices shall be considered as failing the comparison.

   positional arguments:
       <file> input files (HDF5)

   options:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --columns <colspec>, -c <colspec>
              list  of  columns  to  include in the comparison (0-indexed, comma-separated, may be prefixed with
              table name, and multiple lists separated by  semicolon,  e.g.,  "dynamic:0,1,2;cf:0,1,2";  default
              table="dynamic"). See Siconos HDF5 file format docs for meaning of columns.

       --start <time>
              start time in seconds from beginning the comparison

       --end <time>
              end time in seconds end the comparison

       --interval <time>
              amount of time after start to compare

       --threshold <float>
              threshold for comparison

       -V, --version
              show program's version number and exit
