.SH NAME
freecell\-solver\-range\-parallel\-solve \- The Freecell Solver utility for
solving a range of Microsoft Freecell/Freecell Pro Boards
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
freecell-solver-range-parallel-solve \fIstart\fR \fIend\fR \fIprint_step\fR
\&\fB[\-\-binary\-output\-to filename]\fR [fc\-solve Arguments...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBfreecell-solver-range-parallel-solve\fR is a command line application
that solves a range of Freecell deals of Microsoft Freecell and Freecell Pro.
.PP
\&\fIstart\fR is the first board to solve; \fIend\fR is the last (inclusive) and
\&\fIprint_step\fR is the division of board numbers in which to print a status
message.
.PP
Following this three mandatory parameters are several flags specific to
the range solve. (refer to the \fBOPTIONS\fR section for more information)
.PP
Afterwards one can give it a \fBfc-solve\fR command line that it will
use to solve each board. Refer to the \fBfc-solve\fR(6) man page for
information about its options.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
\&\fB\-\-binary\-output\-to\fR sets the filename into which to output the number
of iterations it took to solve each board. This file can later be used with
statistical preset optimizers such as those found in the Freecell Solver
version control repository.
