Next: Informational Options, Up: Dicod Invocation [Contents][Index]
The following options select the operation mode. Only one of them can be present in the command line:
Preprocess configuration file and exit. See Using Preprocessor to Improve the Configuration..
Run in inetd mode. See Inetd Operation Mode.
Run unit tests for the module. Arguments following that option are parsed as follows:
modname [testargs] [-- initargs]
where modname stands for the name of the module to test,
testargs are arguments to the dico_run_test function of
the module, and initargs are module initialization arguments
(passed to the dico_init method). Square brackets denote
optional parts. Before passing to the corresponding method, both
argument lists are augmented by prepending module name as the first
element (with index 0).
This option implies --stderr.
Use the --load-dir (-L) option (see --load-dir), if the module is not located in one of the default load directories (see load path).
See Module Unit Testing, for a detailed discussion of module unit testing.
Check configuration file syntax and exit with code ‘0’ if it is OK, or with ‘78’ if there are errors. See Configuration.
