     saga_cmd [-v, --version]

     saga_cmd	 [-C,	 --config][=#][-s,   --story][=#][-c,	--cores][=#][-f,
     --flags][=#] <LIBRARY> [<TOOL>] [<OPTIONS>]

     saga_cmd	[-C,   --config][=#][-s,    --story][=#][-c,	--cores][=#][-f,
     --flags][=#] <SCRIPT>

     saga_cmd --create-config[=file]
	Create a default configuration file. If no file name is specified
	it will use 'saga_cmd.ini'.

     saga_cmd --create-batch[=file]

DESCRIPTION
     SAGA  GIS	(System for Automated Geoscientific Analysis) is a free and open
     source geographic information system used for editing and analysing spatial
     data. It includes a large number of tools for the analysis of  vector,  ta-
     ble, grid and image data.

     The SAGA command line interpreter is particularly useful for the processing
     of  complex  work	flows by defining a series of subsequent tool calls in a
     script file. Calling saga_cmd with the option '--create-batch' will  create
     an example of a DOS batch script file, which might be a good starting point
     for the implementation of your own specific work flows.

     When  run without arguments, the tool libraries found in the SAGA installa-
     tion directory (e.g. /usr/lib/saga) will  be  loaded  automatically.  Addi-
     tional  directories  can  be  specified  by adding the environment variable
     'SAGA_TLB' and let it point to one or more directories, just the way it  is
     done with the DOS 'PATH' variable.

OPTIONS
     LIBRARY [TOOL] [OPTIONS]
	     Specify  the  library (e.g. ta_morphometry) and the tool (number or
	     name). If no tool is specified the different tools of a library are
	     listed.

     SCRIPT  Saga cmd script file with one or more tool calls

     -h, --help
	     Help on usage

     -v, --version
	     Version information

     -s, --story
	     Maximum data history depth (default is unlimited)

     -C, --config
	     Configuration file (default is 'saga_cmd.ini')

     -c, --cores
	     Number of physical processors to use for computation

     -f, --flags
	     Various flags for general usage [qrsilxo]

	     q No progress report
	     r No messages report
	     s Silent mode (no progress and no messages report)
	     i Allow user interaction
	     l Load translation dictionary
	     x Use XML markups for synopses and messages
	     o Load old style naming

     --create-config
	     Create a default configuration file. If no file name  is  specified
	     it will use 'saga_cmd.ini'

     --create-batch
	     Create batch file examples in the current working directory

     --create-docs
	     Create tool documentation in the current working directory

EXAMPLE
     export SAGA_TLB=/usr/lib/saga

     saga_cmd	ta_lighting  "Analytical  Hillshading"	-ELEVATION=c:\dem.sg-grd
     -SHADE=c:\shade.sg-grd

     Multiple input files can be specified by separating  them	by  a  semicolon
     (;).
