Filename extensions

Cytosim understands these file extensions:

Extension | Type | Typical usage
--- | --- | ---
`*.cym` | input | configuration file
`*.cms` | input | configuration file for `play` containing display parameters
`*.cmo` | output | files generated by `sim`

`sim` usually produces 3 output files:

File | Type | Content
--- | --- | ---
`properties.cmo` | text | properties of the objects
`objects.cmo` | binary | positions of the objects at different time points
`messages.cmo` | text | information such as the execution time

`objects.cmo` is called the trajectory file.

`play` reads:

- `properties.cmo`
- `objects.cmo`

`'play` live' reads the configuration file (by default `config.cym`) and usually does not write any file, but the user can save images or export simulation snapshot (a trajectory file containing only one time point). See menu -> export.
