Parameters read by syn_alm_cxx: nlmax (integer): maximum order of l nmmax (integer): maximum order of m (must not be larger than nlmax, default=nlmax) infile (string): input file containing the CMB power spectrum outfile (string): output file name for the calculated a_lm rand_seed (integer): random-number seed fwhm_arcmin (real): FWHM (in arcmin) of a Gaussian beam, which is used to smooth the resulting sky a_lm (default=0) polarisation (bool): if false, only the intensity a_lm are generated, if true, T, G and C a_lm are generated double_precision (bool, default=false): if false, the a_lm are created in single precision, otherwise in double precision.
