NAME

       XPACode -  Where to Find Example/Test Code

SYNOPSIS

       The XPA source code directory contains two test programs, stest.c, and ctest.c that can
       serve as examples for writing XPA servers and clients, respectively.  They also can be
       used to test various features of XPA.

DESCRIPTION

       To build the XPA test programs, execute:

          make All

       in the XPA source directory to generate the stest and ctest programs.  (NB: this should
       work on all platforms, although we have had problems with unresolved externals on one
       Sun/Solaris machine, for reasons still unknown.)

       The stest program can be executed with no arguments to start an XPA server that contains
       the access points: xpa, xpa1, c_xpa (containing sub-commands cmd1 and cmd2), and i_xpa.
       You then can use xpaset and xpaget to interact with these access points:

         cat xpa.c | xpaset xpa      # send to xpa
         cat xpa.c | xpaset "xpa*"   # send to xpa and xpa1
         xpaget xpa                  # receive from xpa
         xpaget xpa*                 # receive from xpa and xpa1

       etc. You also can use ctest to do the same thing, or to iterate:

         ctest \-s \-l 100 xpa        # send to xpa 100 times
         ctest \-s \-l 100 "xpa*"     # send to xpa and xpa1 100 times
         ctest \-g \-l 100 xpa        # receive from xpa 100 times
         ctest \-g \-l 100 "xpa*"     # receive from xpa and xpa1 100 times

       More options are available: see the stest.c and ctest.c code itself, which were used
       extensively to debug XPA.

       The file test.tcl in the XPA source directory gives examples for using the
       XPATclInterface.
