Overview

BRAHMS is implemented as a native executable, and thus, in the end, it is invoked from the operating system command line (shell). This page details this interface. The BRAHMS executable is actually called brahms-supervisor, but you should not call this directly - call the shell script wrapper brahms, which does the same thing, but makes minor adjustments to your environment to make things go smoothly. Now forget I ever mentioned brahms-supervisor - I'm now removing it from your mind, the sun is shining, the donkeys are playing in the meadow, it's fading, it's fading, it's gone.

Interface

The BRAHMS executable is called brahms. Type brahms at a shell prompt to see the documentation for the command line interface. At time of writing, the output below was already out of date - try it with your own installation to see what options are currently available.
