Details

Intended for code stored in non-standard directories in packages included under the 'inst' directory, which installation brings up one level to the top package directory and deletes 'inst'. However, standard directories will work too.

Details for pbdIO: Running MPI codes on clusters requires batch submission to a job scheduler, which is best done with a shell script. This function provides a means to extract such shell script examples from a package that includes them under extra directories that installation makes from 'inst'.
