NAME

       lr_check_service - check existence of Lire service

SYNOPSIS

       lr_check_service service

       lr_check_service -l

DESCRIPTION

       lr_check_service checks if service service is supported in Lire, i.e. if there is a DLF converter registered under that name.

       When called with the -l (for `list') option, lr_check_service lists all registered DLF converters.

       Like all Lire scripts, you might want to call this script via lr_run(1), to deal sanely with this scripts' debug- and logging output.

       You might prefer the lr_log2report(1) --help options to list available services: this command creates a more human-friendly format of the
       list.

EXAMPLE

       Call this script in shell scripts as

	LR_SERVICE="$1"

	LR_SERVICE=`lr_check_service "$LR_SERVICE" || true`
	if test -z "$LR_SERVICE"
	then
	   echo >&2 "$tag err lr_check_service failed"
	   exit 1
	fi

	# now go using $LR_SERVICE

       .
