Detailed Description

Function Documentation

const std::vector<std::string>& LHAPDF::availablePDFSets

(

)

Get the names of all available PDF sets in the search path.

Note

Taken from scanning the directories in the search path (i.e. LHAPDF_DATA_PATH) for viable PDF sets.

The result is cached when first called, to avoid repeated filesystem walking. It's assumed that new PDFs will not appear on the filesystem during a run: please let the authors know if that's not a good assumption!

std::string LHAPDF::findFile

(

const std::string &

target

)

Return the first location in which a file is found

If no matching file is found, return an empty path.

std::string LHAPDF::findpdfsetinfopath ( const std::string &  setname )

inline

Todo:

Check that set info and mem=0 file are in same dir?

std::vector<std::string> LHAPDF::paths

(

)

Get the ordered list of search paths, from $LHAPDF_DATA_PATH and the install location.

Note

The install prefix will be appended unless $LHAPDF_DATA_PATH ends with a double colon, i.e. '::'
