Name

M_msg

Description

This is a collection of modules useful for creating messages, logfiles and performing unit tests,

• M_msg is a small module that can convert a list of variables of any of the most common default types to a string.

  It performs low-level operations that are often used by other larger modules so it is in its own module to prevent circular dependencies.

• M_verify contains procedures useful for generating unit tests

• M_journal allows for creating log and journal files

• M_messages includes messages containing line art, ASCII plotting procedures, and various table presentations.

LineArt Messages

The lineart routines files display eye-catching messages as block letters or with ASCII art.

• junbad - print an eye-catching image of a skull.
• junbat - print an eye-catching image of a bat.
• junbuster - es] call journal(3f) to print eye-catching ASCII graphic (ghostbuster)
• jundragon - fill in a character array with a message
• junroach - print an eye-catching image of a roach.
• junsun - print an eye-catching image of a smiling sun.
• juntrolls - print an eye-catching bulletin

Message Routines

Generic procedures that are used to generate messages.

• blocks - write large block letters

• signs - write out string in large block letters

• percent_done - non-advancing status counter displays percentage done on terminal displays

• tabgraph - write out a row of numbers and a text-based scaled graph

Building the Module

A conventional GNU/Linux or Unix install:

     git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_msg.git
     cd M_msg/src
     # change Makefile if not using one of the listed compilers
     
     # for gfortran
     make clean
     make F90=gfortran gfortran
     
     # for ifort
     make clean
     make F90=ifort ifort

     # for nvfortran
     make clean
     make F90=nvfortran nvfortran

This will compile the Fortran module and basic test programs

Optionally

Supports FPM

Alternatively, download the github repository and build it with fpm ( as described at Fortran Package Manager )

     git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_msg.git
     cd M_msg
     fpm test

or just list it as a dependency in your fpm.toml project file.

     [dependencies]
     M_msg        = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_msg.git" }

(registered at the fpm(1) registry )
