<div class="single"><h2>Description</h2>
<div>This function reads the files written by <a href="_write__Nmz__Paths.html" title="writes the path names into two files">writeNmzPaths</a>, retrieves the path names, and types them on the standard output (as far as they have been set). Thus, once the path names have been stored, a <tt>Normaliz</tt> session can simply be opened by this function.<table class="examples"><tr><td><pre>i1 : writeNmzPaths();</pre>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><pre>i2 : startNmz();
nmzExecPath is /usr/bin/
nmzDataPath not set</pre>
