namelist
A namelist is a data input mechanism used primarily in Fortran and related scientific computing environments. It provides a way to group a set of program variables into a single named collection that can be read from a text file or standard input at runtime. Namelist-style I/O is designed to let users override configuration parameters without recompiling.
Originating in Fortran as a language extension for convenient input of configuration parameters, namelists are supported
Structure and usage: A namelist consists of one or more variables grouped under a single group name.
Advantages and limitations: Namelists offer a human-friendly way to configure runs, enabling easy parameter sweeps and
