NAME

mapserv - mapserver CGI interface

SYNOPSIS

mapserv [ -v | [ -nh ] QUERY_STRING=" QUERY_STRING " ]

DESCRIPTION

mapserv provides commandline access to the MapServer CGI interface.

OPTIONS

	-v		Display mapserver version and build options.
	-nh		Suppress HTTP headers.

QUERY_STRING =" QUERY_STRING "

CGI QUERY_STRING parameter, e.g. QUERY_STRING="MAP=/home/user/wfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities"

EXAMPLE

The CGI interface can be tested at the commandline by using the "QUERY_STRING" switch, such as:

mapserv "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map"

To suppress the HTTP headers, you can use the " -nh " switch, such as:

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map"

To save the output into an image file, use the pipe command such as:

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map" > test.png
