#' Run Mplus Models
#'
#' This function runs a group of Mplus models (\code{.inp} files) located within
#' a single directory or nested within subdirectories.
#'
#' @param target         a character string indicating the directory containing
#'                       Mplus input files (\code{.inp})
#'                       to run or the single \code{.inp} file to be run. May be
#'                       a full path, relative path, or a filename within the
#'                       working directory.
#' @param recursive      logical: if \code{TRUE}, run all models nested in
#'                       subdirectories within directory. Not relevant if target
#'                       is a single file.
#' @param filefilter     a Perl regular expression (PCRE-compatible) specifying
#'                       particular input files to be run within directory. See
#'                       regex or http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt for details about
#'                       regular expression syntax. Not relevant if target is a
#'                       single file.
#' @param show.out       logical: if \code{TRUE}, estimation output (\code{TECH8})
#'                       is show on the R console. Note that if run within Rgui,
#'                       output will display within R, but if run via Rterm,
#'                       a separate window will appear during estimation.
#' @param replace.out    a character string for specifying three settings:
#'                       \code{"always"} (default), which runs all models, regardless
#'                       of whether an output file for the model exists, \code{"never"},
#'                       which does not run any model that has an existing output file,
#'                       and \code{"modified"}, which only runs a model if the
#'                       modified date for the input file is more recent than the
#'                       output file modified date.
#' @param message        logical: if \code{TRUE}, message \code{Running model:}
#'                       and \code{System command:} is pringted on the console.
#' @param logFile        a character string specifying a file that records the settings
#'                       passed into the function and the models run (or skipped)
#'                       during the run.
#' @param Mplus          a character string for specifying the name or path of the
#'                       Mplus executable to be used for running models. This covers
#'                       situations where Mplus is not in the system's path, or where
#'                       one wants to test different versions of the Mplus program.
#'                       Note that there is no need to specify this argument for most
#'                       users since it has intelligent defaults.
#' @param killOnFail     logical: if \code{TRUE} (default), all processes named
#'                       mplus.exe when \code{mplus.run()} does not terminate
#'                       normally are killed. Windows only.
#' @param local_tmpdir   logical: if \code{TRUE}, the TMPDIR environment variable
#'                       is set to the location of the \code{.inp file} prior to
#'                       execution. This is useful in Monte Carlo studies where
#'                       many instances of Mplus may run in parallel and we wish
#'                       to avoid collisions in temporary files among processes.
#'                       Linux/Mac only.
