        rrt
        program
        options

## DESCRIPTION

Executes the specified program with the provided options and includes the current database name and the list of currently displayed objects on the command line. This command effectively executes:

program options database_name objects.

The `rrt` command also provides the current MGED viewing parameters to the program on standard input. Many BRL-CAD programs use the -M option to indicate that viewing parameters will be provided on standard input. The `rt` command can be simulated with `rrt` as:

rrt /usr/brlcad/bin/rt -M -s50

provided that perspective is not currently being used. Any executable routine may be run using `rrt`; however, it will always be run with the provided options followed by the current database name and the list of currently displayed objects.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the `rrt` command to execute the specified program and list the current database name and currently displayed objects.

### Execute a specified program and list the current database name and currently displayed objects.

mged>`rrt echo`

Lists the current database name and currently displayed objects.
