NAME

       sdr2file - SDR data extraction test program

SYNOPSIS

       sdr2file configFlags

DESCRIPTION

       sdr2file stress-tests SDR data extraction by retrieving and deleting all text file lines
       inserted into a test SDR data store named "testsdrconfigFlags" by the complementary test
       program file2sdr(1).

       The operation of sdr2file echoes the cyclical operation of file2sdr: each linked list
       created by file2sdr is used to create in the current working directory a copy of
       file2sdr's original source text file.  The name of each file written by sdr2file is
       file_copy_cycleNbr, where cycleNbr identifies the linked list from which the file's text
       lines were obtained.

       sdr2file may catch up with the data ingestion activity of file2sdr, in which case it
       blocks (taking the file2sdr test semaphore) until the linked list it is currently draining
       is no longer empty.

EXIT STATUS

       "0" sdr2file has terminated.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Can't use sdr.
           ION system error.  Check for diagnostics in the ION log file ion.log.

       Can't create semaphore.
           ION system error.  Check for diagnostics in the ION log file ion.log.
