NAME

bin/iafa2digger.pl - convert IAFA templates to Digger v2 input format

SYNOPSIS

  bin/iafa2digger.pl [-ad] [-o outlinedir] [-s sourcedir]
    [file1 file2 ... fileN]
 

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program converts IAFA templates such as those generated by the ROADS template editor into the format accepted by version 2 of Bunyip's "Digger" WHOIS++ server. This is necessary because Digger takes its input in the WHOIS++ on-the-wire format, which is slightly different to the IAFA templates used internally within the ROADS software.

OPTIONS

-a

Process all of the templates in the source directory.

-d

Generate debugging information.

-o outlinedir

Use the template outline descriptions (the attributes and values which are legal in each template and cluster) from this directory.

-s sourcedir

Look in this directory for the templates being converted.

OUTPUT

A single file containing the Digger formatted templates.
