Name

rctest - tool to retrieve values from the config file

Synopsis

rctest [-h]
rctest [-v]
rctest [-d] [-g] [-D directory] section item

Description

The rctest looks for the item item in the configuration section section and returns it on stdout. If the -g switch is given, then the item is also looked up in the global mcntp section. When the -d switch is giv- en, rctest gives some debugging output used to test the internal be- haviour of read_conf(3) . The -h switch displays a short help line and the program terminates afterwards. The -v switch displays the mcntp ver- sion and the program terminates afterwards. The -D switch allows to specify a directory to search for the config instead of the compile time default.

Example

With the following items in mcntp.conf

mcntp:checkpoint=50
mcrcv:checkpoint=200

you will see the following:

snert!234> ./rctest mcrcv checkpoint >> 200
snert!235> ./rctest -g mcrcv checkpoint >> 200
Searching in global section
>> 50
snert!236> ./rctest mcxmit checkpoint >> (null)
snert!237> ./rctest -g mcxmit checkpoint >> 50
