)

`modpath`	directory to save generated data
`itervec`	number of iterations of data to generate
`Fdynamics`	Specify name of pattern of fishing mortality dynamics, Constant, Endogenous, Ramp, Increasing, or None. Input number to project forward using a specific F.
`Rdynamics`	Specify name of pattern of recruitment dynamics, Constant, Pulsed, Pulsed_up, or BH
`lh`	list of life history information to feed to population simulation function, output from create_lh_list
`pool`	if nseasons (in life history list) is greater than one, pool the generated data into annual time steps, or leave at the season-level? default=TRUE, FALSE will generate shorter time step life history info, mean length
`Nyears`	number of years to simulate
`Nyears_comp`	number of years to generate length composition data
`comp_sample`	sample size of length composition data each year
`rewrite`	TRUE will re-run OM and observation model. FALSE will skip if it's already written in directory.
`init_depl`	default=NULL, can specify a starting depletion, initial F (using init_F), or 2 values that indicate range from which to choose them
`init_F`	default=NULL, can specify a starting F, an initial depletion (using init_depl), or 2 vaues that indicate range from which to choose them
`derive_quants`	default=FALSE (takes longer to run), can set to TRUE to output additional derived quantities.
`seed`	single seed or vector of seeds for each iteration
`mgt_type`	removals based on F (default) or catch
`fleet_proportions`	vector specifying the relative size of each fleet in terms of fishing pressure. must have length = nfleets and sum to 1.
`nareas`	number of areas, default = 1, if greater than 1, must be equal to the number of fleets
