::pwtk::checkForError

::pwtk::checkForError

SYNOPSIS

proc ::pwtk::checkForError {outputFile prog {_stopOnError 0} {_silent 0}} {

PURPOSE

Check for error in the pw.x, ph.x, ... output file, and depending on the error type and value of _stopOnError the aplication may exit.

The "exit" statement will be executed only if (i) _stopOnError > 0 or (ii) (_stopOnError < 0 and error type is "runtime error" or "hard error")

The presence of error is checked as follows: We check for one of the error strings, however the output might be appended from the previous run, so we check for error string after the last "Program PWSCF" string !!!

ARGUMENTS

outputFile -- name of output file
prog -- name of executable (i.e., name of QE program: pw.x, ph.x, ...)
_stopOnError -- if _stopOnError > 0, the application will exit upon error detection; if _stopOnError < 0, the application will exit only upon detection of "runtime error" or "hard error"
_silent -- if true, do not print error message

RETURN VALUE

1 -- if error is found
0 otherwise
