NAME

XPACode - Where to Find Example/Test Code

SYNOPSIS

The XPA source code directory contains two test programs, stest.c , and ctest.c that can serve as examples for writing XPA servers and clients, respectively. They also can be used to test various features of XPA .

DESCRIPTION

To build the XPA test programs, execute:

make All

in the XPA source directory to generate the stest and ctest programs. ( NB: this should work on all platforms, although we have had problems with unresolved externals on one Sun/Solaris machine, for reasons still unknown.)

The stest program can be executed with no arguments to start an XPA server that contains the access points: xpa, xpa1, c_xpa (containing sub-commands cmd1 and cmd2), and i_xpa. You then can use xpaset and xpaget to interact with these access points:

cat xpa.c | xpaset xpa # send to xpa
cat xpa.c | xpaset "xpa*" # send to xpa and xpa1
xpaget xpa # receive from xpa
xpaget xpa* # receive from xpa and xpa1

etc. You also can use ctest to do the same thing, or to iterate:

ctest -s -l 100 xpa # send to xpa 100 times
ctest -s -l 100 "xpa*" # send to xpa and xpa1 100 times
ctest -g -l 100 xpa # receive from xpa 100 times
ctest -g -l 100 "xpa*" # receive from xpa and xpa1 100 times

More options are available: see the stest.c and ctest.c code itself, which were used extensively to debug XPA .

The file test.tcl in the XPA source directory gives examples for using the XPATclInterface.
