{\sc SExtractor} is run from the shell with the following \index{syntax} syntax:

\% ~ {\tt sex} ~ {\em \index{image} image} {\tt [-c} {\em configuration-file}{\tt ]} ~ {\tt [ -}{\em Parameter1} {\em Value1\ }{\tt ]}

The parts enclosed within brackets are optional. The file names of input
|
| 9 |
|
|
catalogues can be directly provided in the command-line, or in lists that are
|
| 10 |
|
|
ASCII files with
|
| 11 |
|
|
each catalogue name preceded by
|
| 12 |
|
|
'@' (one per line).
|
| 13 |
|
|
% Lists are ASCII files containing the input file names (one per line).
|
| 14 |
|
|
One should use lists instead of the catalogue file names if the number of
|
| 15 |
|
|
input catalogues is too large to be handled directly by the shell.
|
| 16 |
|
|
Any ``{\tt -}{\em Parameter} {\em Value}" statement in the command-line overrides
|
| 17 |
|
|
the corresponding definition in the configuration-file or any default
|
| 18 |
|
|
value (see below).
