+
+trick-CP - Trick Configuration Processor
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+trick-CP [OPTION]...
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+trick-CP  is  the  Trick environment Configuration Processor.  trick-CP
+parses the simulation definition file,  S_define,  searching  for  math
+models to include in the simulation.  trick-CP will search for the math
+models  within  the  search  paths   included   in   TRICK_CFLAGS   and
+TRICK_CXXFLAGS  environment  variables.  trick-CP will generate code to
+call math models listed in the S_define file and will generate a  make‐
+file to build these math models.
+
