Testing Server Programs
You can use TACL to test server programs. One way to do this is to perform the
following steps:
1. Define a request STRUCT and a reply STRUCT.
2. Verify that the server process is running.
3. Open the server using #REQUESTER with the READ option.
4. Loop and prompt for request type; use #CASE enclosures to issue specific test
requests.
Communicating With $CMON
The routine in Figure 5-11, strio, shows how to use STRUCTs and the #REQUESTER
built-in function to send messages to CMON and display replies. For more
information about CMON, see the Guardian Programming Guide. To run this example,
load the file that contains the definitions in Figure 5-11 and enter:
strio
(strio is listed at the end of Figure 5-11.)
