timestep
    If a time step is specified, output will be generated for the specific time step in addition to the summary and total flows at the outlet. This parameter can be combined with topidxclass to specify a time step and topographic index class at the same time. If no topidxclass is given, output will be generated for all the topographic index classes.

toptopidxclass
    If a topographic index class is specified, output will be generated for the given topographic index class. This parameter can be combined with timestep. If no timestep is given, output will be generated for all the time steps.

topidx, ntoptopidxclasses, outtoptopidxstats
    The topidx map can optionally be used for creating a new topographic index statistics file. This map has to be already clipped to the catchment boundary. The entire range of topographic index values will be divided into ntoptopidxclasses and the area ratio of each class will be reported in the outtoptopidxstats file. These three parameters can be omitted unless a new topidxstats file needs to be created.
