.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Interchange is a database access and retrieval system focused on e\-commerce.
It allows customers to select items to buy from catalog pages. The program
tracks user information in sessions and interacts with an \s-1HTTP\s0 server
through sockets.
.PP
Interchange has many, many, functions and features; they are too numerous
to describe in this venue. Complete information can be found at
its web site:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&                http://www.icdevgroup.org/
.Ve
.PP
Interchange requires Perl 5.8.5 or higher; more information on Perl can
be seen at:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&                http://www.perl.com/
.Ve
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Interchange uses the Getopt::Long module, and most options will be recognized
if they uniquely identifiable. The canonical forms are:
.IP "\-a, \-\-add" 4
.IX Item "-a, --add"
Add a catalog to the system. Information taken from the input file
(or standard input). Implies reconfig=catalog. Example:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  echo "Catalog simple /catalogs/simple /simple.cgi" | bin/interchange \-a
.Ve
.Sp
The information is in the form of a standard Interchange catalog line,
and must be in the single-line format.
.IP "\-\-runjobs=catalog[=job]" 4
.IX Item "--runjobs=catalog[=job]"
Run a jobs group which is a series of files in a directory with
the name corresponding to the \f(CW\*(C`job\*(C'\fR. For instance, if you 
set up a directory called \*(L"weekly\*(R" in your pages directory
for the catalog \f(CW\*(C`foundation\*(C'\fR, you can run those files with:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange \-\-runjobs=foundation=weekly
.Ve
.Sp
Files ending in .html (or whatever HTMLsuffix is for that catalog)
are skipped. It is not tree-recursive \*(-- directories are ignored.
.Sp
Results can be emailed to an address if you specify \-\-email=address,
and they will be put in the jobs log file.
.Sp
Alternatively jobs can be specified with \-\-jobgroup=jobname \fBbefore\fR
the \-\-runjobs option. In other words, this will work:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange \-\-jobgroup=weekly \-\-runjobs=foundation
.Ve
.Sp
This will \s-1NOT\s0 work:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange \-\-runjobs=foundation \-\-jobgroup=weekly
.Ve
.IP "\-d dir, \-\-dir=dir" 4
.IX Item "-d dir, --dir=dir"
Directory for VendRoot. This is where the Interchange configuration file
will be looked for (if not redefined with \f(CW\*(C`\-f\*(C'\fR), and where the log file
will go (if not redefined with the ErrorFile directive).
.IP "\-e name, \-\-exclude=name" 4
.IX Item "-e name, --exclude=name"
Exclude catalog from this startup.
.IP "\-email=address" 4
.IX Item "-email=address"
Email address to email jobs results to.
.IP "\-f file, \-\-config=file" 4
.IX Item "-f file, --config=file"
Configuration file to use (default is interchange.cfg in VendRoot).
.IP "\-h, \-\-help" 4
.IX Item "-h, --help"
Display help on command line options.
.IP "\-i, \-\-inetmode" 4
.IX Item "-i, --inetmode"
Run with internet-domain socket only. Normally Interchange runs with
both \s-1UNIX\-\s0 and internet-domain sockets (except on Windows).
.IP "\-\-jobgroup=job" 4
.IX Item "--jobgroup=job"
Sets the job for \-\-runjobs if that is not included in the \-\-runjobs
call. \s-1MUST\s0 precede the \-\-runjobs entry on the command line.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange \-\-jobgroup=weekly \-\-runjobs=foundation
.Ve
.Sp
See \-\-runjobs for an explanation of what this does.
.IP "\-\-kill [signal]" 4
.IX Item "--kill [signal]"
By default, kills the server ungracefully with signal \s-1KILL\s0 (9, usually).
The optional signal will be sent instead if supplied.
.IP "\-q, \-\-quiet" 4
.IX Item "-q, --quiet"
Suppress informational messages on startup. Only errors are shown.
.IP "\-\-reconfig=name" 4
.IX Item "--reconfig=name"
Cause only catalog \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR to re-read its configuration.
.IP "\-\-remove=catalog" 4
.IX Item "--remove=catalog"
Remove a catalog from operation; any future requests will get a not-found
message.
.IP "\-r, \-\-restart" 4
.IX Item "-r, --restart"
Stop and restart the server. This may take a long time if many catalogs
are in use, and will temporarily take the system offline. If you want to
change a UserTag, use the \-\-add option instead.
.IP "\-\-serve" 4
.IX Item "--serve"
This is the default if no mode options (\-\-reconfig, \-\-kill, \-\-restart, etc.)
are supplied.
.IP "\-\-stop" 4
.IX Item "--stop"
Stop server gracefully with a \s-1TERM\s0 signal.
.IP "\-t, \-\-test" 4
.IX Item "-t, --test"
Report problems with config files; causes a complete configuration of 
the Interchange server but no server start.
.IP "\-u, \-\-unix" 4
.IX Item "-u, --unix"
Run with unix-domain socket only. Normally Interchange runs with
both \s-1UNIX\-\s0 and internet-domain sockets. This will not work on Windows.
.IP "\-v, \-\-version" 4
.IX Item "-v, --version"
Display program version.
.IP "\-\-DEBUG=1" 4
.IX Item "--DEBUG=1"
Set to true value to run foreground in debug mode. It is normal to
receive warnings about various things if you run with perl \-w.
.IP "Directive=value" 4
.IX Item "Directive=value"
Set a Interchange global directive upon start (or \-\-restart). Example:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange SocketPerms=0666
.Ve
.Sp
This will start the server and override the default of SocketPerms or the
value set in interchange.cfg for this instance only. Any \-\-restarts must
re-specify the directive if it is still to have that value.
.IP "name:Directive=value" 4
.IX Item "name:Directive=value"
Set a Interchange directive for catalog \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR upon start (or \-\-restart). Example:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        interchange simple:VendURL="http://localhost/cgi\-bin/simple"
.Ve
.Sp
This will start the server and override the default of VendURL for the
value set in catalog.cfg for this instance only. Any \-\-restarts must
re-specify the directive if it is still to have that value.

Original author of Vend, ancestor to Minivend and Interchange, was
Andrew Wilcox <amw@wilcoxsolutions.com>. Interchange could never have
come into being without him. Interchange was based on Vend 0.2, with
portions from Vend 0.3; both were produced in 1995.
