Both the functionObject call context (the command line for postProcess, and the
controlDict path for run-time post-precessing) and the configuration file
context where the arguments are substituted are now printed in the error
message, e.g.
postProcess -func 'patchAverage(name=inlet, ields=(p U))'
generates the message
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Essential value for keyword 'fields' not set in function entry
patchAverage(name=inlet, ields=(p U))
in command line postProcess -func patchAverage(name=inlet, ields=(p U))
Placeholder value is <field_names>

and with the following in controlDict
functions
{
#includeFunc patchAverage(name=inlet, ields=(p U))
}
generates the message

OpenFOAM Configuration
The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:
settings: core settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: application settings for compiling against metis 5
The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:
