How to perform specific common tasks using Starlab tools

Note: Most tools are just simple interfaces onto the corresponding library functions, so the tasks listed below could all also be carried out by compiled programs rather than by pipes. However, the use of pipes is in many ways clearer and much more flexible.

An up-to-date list may be found in the file EXAMPLES in the Starlab distribution. For details on a specific tool, type

        tool-name --help
(etc.)
