NAME¶

file2dgr - DGR transmission test program

SYNOPSIS¶

file2dgr remoteHostName fileName [nbrOfCycles]

DESCRIPTION¶

file2dgr uses DGR to send nbrOfCycles copies of the text of the file named fileName to the dgr2file process running on the computer identified by remoteHostName. If not specified (or if less than 1), nbrOfCycles defaults to 1. After sending all lines of the file, file2dgr sends a datagram containing an EOF string (the ASCII text "*** End of the file ***") before reopening the file and starting transmission of the next copy.

When all copies of the file have been sent, file2dgr prints a performance report:

        Bytes sent = I<byteCount>, usec elapsed = I<elapsedTime>.
        Sending I<dataRate> bits per second.

EXIT STATUS¶

"0"

file2dgr has terminated.
