command

One of the commands listed below,

The arguments (if any) are separated from each other and from the command by one or more blanks or a comma. Commands may be given in upper or lower case, and may be abbreviated, usually to three characters. The shortest recognized abbreviations are indicated by the capitalized part of the commands listed below. Examples of valid commands are:

SET INPUT  21
migrad
mig  500
SET LIMITS  14  -1.0,1.0
contours  1  2
MINOS  500  1,3,5,21,22                            
In Fortran-callable mode, all the same commands (with a few obvious exceptions as indicated) can be executed by passing the command-string and arguments to Minuit in a CALL MNEXCM statement.
