Mark Olesen 7f01a4beda CONFIG: address differences between shells
- suppress error messages that appear with zsh.
  According to unset(1p), 'unset -f' unsets a function.
  If the function was not previously defined, this is a no-op.
  This is similar for zsh, but there it emits a warning if the
  function was not previously defined.

- avoid 'local' in functions sources from etc/bashrc.
  ksh does not support this.

- use 'command' shell builtin instead of 'type'.
  Seems to be more consistent between shell flavours.

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 settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
