| EsoRex is the ESO Recipe Execution Tool. It can list, configure and |
| execute CPL-based recipes from the command line. One of the features |
| provided by the CPL is the ability to create data-reduction algorithms |
| that run as plugins (dynamic libraries). These are called recipes and |
| are one of the main aspects of the CPL data-reduction development |
| environment. As these recipes are dynamic libraries, it is not |
| possible to run them directly from the command line. However, ESO |
| provides several tools to do this, thus saving recipe developers the |
| need to write such an application themselves. One of these is GASGANO |
| (a GUI-based tool) and the other is EsoRex (which runs from the |
| command line. |
