to have the prefix 'write' rather than 'output'
So outputTime() -> writeTime()
but 'outputTime()' is still supported for backward-compatibility.
Also removed the redundant secondary-writing functionality from Time
which has been superseded by the 'writeRegisteredObject' functionObject.
for consistency with the time controls in controlDict and to avoid
unnecessary confusion. All code and tutorials have been updated.
The old names 'outputControl' and 'outputInterval' are but supported for
backward compatibility but deprecated.
Simplified and generalized the handling of functionObjects which fail to
construct by removing them from the list rather than maintaining an
"enabled" switch in each functionObject.

Allwmake: Added scripted changes for REALTYPEWIDTH and IDXTYPEWIDTH
Patch contributed by Bruno Santos
Resolves bug-report http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2085
Description
This functionObject writes objects registered to the database in VTK format
using the foamToVTK library.
Currently only the writing of the cell-values of volFields is supported but
support for other field types, patch fields, Lagrangian data etc. will be
added.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
writeVTK1
{
type writeVTK;
functionObjectLibs ("libIOFunctionObjects.so");
...
objectNames (obj1 obj2);
}
\endverbatim
\heading Function object usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | type name: writeVTK | yes |
objectNames | objects to write | yes |
\endtable
Executes application functionObjects to post-process existing results.
If the "dict" argument is specified the functionObjectList is constructed
from that dictionary otherwise the functionObjectList is constructed from
the "functions" sub-dictionary of "system/controlDict"
Multiple time-steps may be processed and the standard utility time
controls are provided.
This functionality is equivalent to execFlowFunctionObjects but in a
more efficient and general manner and will be included in all the
OpenFOAM solvers if it proves effective and maintainable.
The command-line options available with the "-postProcess" option may be
obtained by
simpleFoam -help -postProcess
Usage: simpleFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-constant include the 'constant/' dir in the times list
-dict <file> read control dictionary from specified location
-latestTime select the latest time
-newTimes select the new times
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-noZero exclude the '0/' dir from the times list, has precedence
over the -withZero option
-parallel run in parallel
-postProcess Execute functionObjects only
-region <name> specify alternative mesh region
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-time <ranges> comma-separated time ranges - eg, ':10,20,40:70,1000:'
