SDLGENDATA(1)SDLGENDATA(1)NAMEsdlgendata - a program that generates random data for testing the DSI
logging process.
SYNOPSISsdlgendata logfile_set class [options]
DESCRIPTIONsdlgendata generates random data which matches your DSI class specifi‐
cation so you can test the logging process. Before you begin logging
data, you should test the logging process by piping test data from sdl‐
gendata to the dsilog process, invoking dsilog with the -vi option.
Data and errors are written to stdout. Press CTRL C to stop data gen‐
eration. You can also use the -vo option of dsilog to examine input
and summarized output for your real data without actually logging it.
Use the following command to pipe data from sdlgendata to the logging
process:
sdlgendata logfile_set class | dsilog logfile_set class -s
<seconds> -vi
Options
