The specification file allows you to set up a default set of command line arguments that may be used with any given executable you want to debug. However, not all command line options are available for use in a specification file. If you want a set of default arguments for each program, put the program name at the beginning of a line followed by a space and then a set of command line arguments. The arguments may be continued on the next line if the first character in that line is a tab. When MULTI runs with the -m option, the file listed is checked and if there is an entry that matches the name of the executable being debugged, then that list of command line arguments are used. For example, a specification file named albatross might look like this:
foo -norc -I /usr/joebob -I /usr/foodir
bar -text 10000 -data 10000
multi -m albatross foo
the file albatross is searched and the arguments found after foo are used. This is equivalent to typing:
multi foo -norc -I /usr/joebob -I /usr/foodir
