NAME

       sm2file - shared-memory linked list data extraction test program

SYNOPSIS

       sm2file

DESCRIPTION

       sm2file stress-tests shared-memory linked list data extraction by retrieving and deleting all text file lines inserted into a shared-memory
       linked list that is the root object of a PSM partition named "file2sm".

       The operation of sm2file echoes the cyclical operation of file2sm: the EOF lines inserted into the linked list by file2sm punctuate the
       writing of files that are copies of file2sm's original source text file.  The name of each file written by sm2file is file_copy_cycleNbr,
       where cycleNbr is, in effect, the count of EOF lines encountered in the linked list up to the point at which the writing of this file
       began.

       sm2file may catch up with the data ingestion activity of file2sm, in which case it blocks (taking the file2sm test semaphore) until the
       linked list is no longer empty.

EXIT STATUS

       0   sm2file has terminated.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       can't attach to shared memory
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       Can't manage shared memory.
	   PSM error.  Check for earlier diagnostics describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't create shared memory list.
	   PSM error.  Check for earlier diagnostics describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't create semaphore.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostics describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't open output file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       can't write to output file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

NAME

       file2sdr - SDR data ingestion test program

SYNOPSIS

       file2sdr configFlags fileName

DESCRIPTION

       file2sdr stress-tests SDR data ingestion by repeatedly writing all text lines of the file named fileName to one of a series of non-volatile
       linked lists created in a test SDR data store named "testsdrconfigFlags".  By incorporating the data store configuration into the name
       (e.g., "testsdr14") we make it relatively easy to perform comparative testing on SDR data stores that are identical aside from their
       configuration settings.

       The operation of file2sdr is cyclical: a new linked list is created each time the program finishes copying the file's text lines and starts
       over again.  If you use ^C to terminate file2sdr and then restart it, the program resumes operation at the point where it left off.

       After writing each line to the current linked list, file2sdr gives a semaphore to indicate that the list is now non-empty.  This is mainly
       for the benefit of the complementary test program sdr2file(1).

       At the end of each cycle file2sdr appends a final EOF line to the current linked list, containing the text "*** End of the file ***", and
       prints a brief performance report:

	       Processing I<lineCount> lines per second.

EXIT STATUS

       0   file2sdr has terminated.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Diagnostic messages produced by file2sdr are written to the ION log file ion.log.

       Can't use sdr.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't create semaphore.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       SDR transaction failed.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't open input file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       Can't reopen input file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       Can't read from input file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.
