Program Description:
    flowattr allows the user to attach simulation attributes to a flow.

Options:
    model <model_name>     Specifies a model name
    config <file_name>     Specifies a configuration file
                               (default: /cadre/tsa/config_file)
    object <obj_name>      Specifies the name of the object to attach
                           values to.
    source <obj_name>      Specifies the name of the source of the
                           flow to attach values to.  Legal values
                           include offpage, any process name except
                           Context-Diagram and any valid store name.
    destination <obj_name> Specifies the name of the destination of the
                           flow to attach values to.  Legal values
                           include offpage, any process name except
                           Context-Diagram and any valid store name.
    name <attr_name>       Specifies the name of an attribute to attach
                           to an object.  Legal values for attr_name
                           include:
                               produce_probability (double >= 0)
                               produce_amount      (stochast integer)
                               max_queue_size      (integer > 0)
                               write_type          (add, update, delete)
                               consume_enable      (boolean expression)
                               consume_amount      (stochast integer)
                               threshold           (integer > 0)
                               read_type           (remove, inspect)
                               driver_file         (string)
                               initial_delay       (double >= 0)
                               firing_delay        (double > 0)
                               consume_delay       (double >= 0)
                               continuous          (boolean value)
                           The legal values vary by the types of objects
                           specified in the source and destination.
    value <attr_value>     Specifies the value of an attribute to attach
                           to an object.  Legal values vary by attribute
                           name.  The types for each attribute are listed
                           above.  Expressions, strings, and stochasts
                           that include spaces should be double quoted.
                           (See example 1 below.)
    errorfile              Specifies the output file to send errors to
                               (default: stderr)
    help [help_dir]        Shows the full help screen (this information)
                               and quits.  The default directory
                                  of help files is /cadre/help.
    syntax [help_dir]      Shows the short help screen (syntax lines only)
                               and quits.
    version                Shows the program header with the version
                               and quits.
    options                Shows the command line options chosen before
                               program execution.
    arg_input <filename>   Indicates more command line options are in
                               the file 'filename'.
    noheader               Suppresses display of the program header
                               before program execution.
    quiet                      Suppresses status messages during
                               program execution.
    ask                    Prompt user for the entry of command line
                               options not provided.
    unix                   Allow entry of options in Unix format
                               (-example_option).
    vms                    Allow entry of options in VMS format
                               (/example_option).
    os2                    Allow entry of options in OS2 format
                               (/example_option).

Examples:


1)  Set the consume enable function for flow f1 in mymod to "A | B | C":

    flowattr -model mymod -object f1 -nam consume_enable -val "A | B | C"
