The log file
============

The log file :file:`ROOT.log` contains a summary of all the functions,
subroutines and data structures defined in the code file, plus a
summary of the numbering and category of the species involved.

This file contains supplementary information for the user. Several
statistics are listed here, like the total number equations, the total
number of species, the number of variable and fixed species. Each
species from the chemical mechanism is then listed followed by its type
and numbering.

Furthermore it contains the complete list of all the functions generated
in the target source file. For each function, a brief description of the
computation performed is attached containing also the meaning of the
input and output parameters.
