NAME
       zoomsh - ZOOM shell

SYNOPSIS
       zoomsh [-e] [-v loglevel] [commands...]

DESCRIPTION
       zoomsh is a ZOOM client with a simple command line interface. The client demonstrates the ZOOM API and is useful for testing targets.

       You may pass one or more commands to zoomsh. These commands are invoked first.

OPTIONS
       -e
	   Makes zoomsh stop processing commands as soon as an error occur. The exit code of zoomsh is 1 if error occurs; 0 otherwise.

       -v loglevel
	   Sets YAZ log level.

EXAMPLES
       If you start the yaz-ztest in one console you can use the ZOOM shell as follows:

	   $ zoomsh
	   ZOOM>connect localhost:9999
	   ZOOM>search computer
	   localhost:9999: 7 hits
	   ZOOM>show 0 1
	   1 Default USmarc
	   001	  11224466
	   003 DLC
	   005 00000000000000.0
	   008 910710c19910701nju	    00010 eng
	   010	  $a	11224466
	   040	  $a DLC $c DLC
	   050 00 $a 123-xyz
	   100 10 $a Jack Collins
	   245 10 $a How to program a computer
	   260 1  $a Penguin
	   263	  $a 8710
	   300	  $a p. cm.
	   ZOOM>quit

       You can also achieve the same result by passing the commands as arguments on a single command line:

       $ zoomsh "connect localhost:9999" "search computer" "show 0 1" quit
