mfm is a tool that allow querying a library about the entry points defined by MFront. Depending on the interface, an entry point can be a class name, a function, a name of an entity that will be registered in an abstract factory when the library is loaded, etc…

$ mfront --obuild --interface=aster ImplicitNorton.mfront 
Treating target : all
The following library has been built :
- libAsterBehaviour.so :  asterimplicitnorton
th202608@pleiades098:/tmp$ mfm src/libAsterBehaviour.so 
- asterimplicitnorton

Filters

The entry points can be filtered. The following filters are available:

• --filter-by-interface.
• --filter-by-material
• --filter-by-name.
• --filter-by-type. This option can be followed by material-property, behaviour or model

Filters are based on case-insensitive regular expressions.

Other command line options

Apart from filters, mfm also have the following options:

• --verbose: set the verbosity level. The following values are accepted: quiet, level0, level1, level2, debug, full. If no value is given, level1 is selected.
• --show-libs: show library name in front of entry points.

Usage

$ mfm --filter-by-material='M5' --filter-by-type=material_property --filter-by-name='.*YoungModulus.*' --filter-by-interface=castem --show-libs  $(find . -type f)
- ./lib/libM5MaterialProperties-castem.so: M5_YoungModulus
- ./lib/libM5MaterialProperties-castem.so: M5_YoungModulus_Crocodile2015
- ./lib/libM5MaterialProperties-castem.so: M5_YoungModulus_MATPRO2001
