NAME

       sdr2file - SDR data extraction test program

SYNOPSIS

       sdr2file configFlags

DESCRIPTION

       sdr2file stress-tests SDR data extraction by retrieving and deleting all text file lines inserted into a test SDR data store named
       "testsdrconfigFlags" by the complementary test program file2sdr(1).

       The operation of sdr2file echoes the cyclical operation of file2sdr: each linked list created by file2sdr is used to create in the current
       working directory a copy of file2sdr's original source text file.  The name of each file written by sdr2file is file_copy_cycleNbr, where
       cycleNbr identifies the linked list from which the file's text lines were obtained.

       sdr2file may catch up with the data ingestion activity of file2sdr, in which case it blocks (taking the file2sdr test semaphore) until the
       linked list it is currently draining is no longer empty.

EXIT STATUS

       0   sdr2file has terminated.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.
