### Description

The tpb file extension stands for binary run input file. This file contains the starting structure of your simulation, The molecular topology and all the simulation data. Because this file is in binary format it cannot be read with a normal editor. To read a binary run input file type:

    % gmxdump -s topol.tpb

or if you're not such a fast reader:

    % gmxdump -s topol.tpb | more

You can also compare two tpb files using:

    % gmxcheck -s1 top1 -s2 top2 | more
