[Rivet] hepmc file name in analysis class?

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Kojla,

You mean you want your analysis to behave differently depending on the input filename? For good reasons that is not an option -- not least that a Rivet job can be running over many different files and it should not change its behaviour midway.
If you want to change your analysis behaviour without recompiling, then your best option is probably just to use environment variables and getopt(). Custom behaviours like that are not something that we accept for "official" analyses, because it would become unmanageable with each using a different ad hoc configuration convention -- so there isn't an official Rivet mechanism for passing options to the analysis classes.
