            5 Initialization and bootstrapping
            6 ================================
            7 
            8 There are three ways to start PISM:
            9 
           10 - option :opt:`-i` reads a previously-saved "complete" PISM model state in a NetCDF file,
           11   or
           12 - option :opt:`-i` :opt:`-bootstrap` reads an "incomplete" NetCDF file and uses heuristics
           13   to fill in needed fields, or
           14 - one of the executables ``pisms`` or ``pismv`` is used to initialize simplified-geometry
           15   experiments or verification tests from formulas in the source code, and thus no input
           16   file is required.
           17 
           18 One of the first two choices is required when using the executable ``pismr``. Modeling
           19 usually starts with the ``-i input.nc -bootstrap`` option because real ice sheet
           20 observations are never complete initial conditions. Runs with multiple stages often use
           21 the :opt:`-i` option after the first stage.
