DESCRIPTION
The loopset program allows WXPloop's parameters to be changed. A IPC channel is used to communicate with the ingest program. When the loopset program establishes a connection with wxploop, the following prompt will appear:
Message queue opened (id:nnnnnn)
Connected to WXPloop program
Type help for help
Message:1:
At this point, you may enter a WXPloop command. To see the list of WXPloop commands, check the wxploop command documentation. The loopset program continues to accept dataset commands until "quit" or "exit" commands are entered. If a valid command is specified from the resource file or command line, only that command will be processed and the program will exit.
Loopset Commands
There are some commands that are unique to loopset:
- alloc - returns the first available window number above 20. One that hasn't been allocated yet.
- test - tests to see if a window number is in use. Returns "found" or "not found".
- clean - deletes an existing window number. Use this if a WXPloop has terminated improperly.
