NAME
rete-net - Save and restore the Rete net
SYNOPSIS
rete-net {-save | -load} filename
DESCRIPTION
The rete-net command saves and restores the state of the
Rete network. This command provides a fast method of saving
and loading productions since a binary format is used. rete-net
files are portable across platforms that support Soar.
The action must be one of the following:
- -save
- Save the Rete network in the given filename. The Rete
network cannot be saved while there are justifications present.
These can be eliminated by using the init-soar command.
- -load
- Load the productions stored in filename into the Rete
network. In order to load productions stored in binary form,
working memory and production memory must both be empty. Working
memory can be emptied by using the init-soar command.
Production memory can be emptied by using the excise -all
command.
If the filename contains a suffix of ".Z", then the file
is compressed automatically when it is saved and uncompressed
when it is loaded.
WARNINGS
Compressed files may not be portable to another platform is that
platform does not support the same uncompress utility.
