DESCRIPTION

pmdf test -x400 is a utility for testing PMDF's Attribute Value Pair List (AVPL) address transformations, in particular those performed by PMDF-X400 channels, though MHS address transformations may also be tested. The utility can also be used to "dump" X.400 (P1) files or arbitrary binary files.

COMMAND QUALIFIERS

-debug

-nodebug (default)

Specify whether to display debug output.

-envelope

-header (default)

Specify whether addresses will default to header (the default) or envelope style transformations.

-mb400

-mhs

-x484

-x488 (default)

Specify what sort of addresses will be transformed. The specification of one of these qualifiers sets the address transformation database(s) to use, the ORNAMEs to use, and whether lhs_order or rhs_order should be the default. The default, if no such qualifier is explicitly set, is -x488, meaning that X.400-1988 address transformations will be used.

-forward

-reverse (default)

Specify whether addresses will default to forward or reverse (the default) style transformations.

-image_file (default)

-noimage_file

By default, The pmdf test -x400 will use a PMDF compiled configuration image, if one exists. The -noimage_file qualifier may be used to cause the utility to disregard any compiled PMDF configuration and instead run directly from the PMDF configuration text files.

-lhs_order

-rhs_order

These qualifiers specify whether left-to-right or right-to-left ordering of attributes in the local part of an RFC 822 address will be assumed. The default will depend upon which qualifier(s) were specified on the pmdf test -x400 command line: for X.400 address processing as with the -mb400, -x484, or -x488 qualifiers, right-to-left ordering is the default.

-restricted

-norestricted (default)

Specified whether or not to use restricted encoding of addresses.

Examples

% pmdf test -x400 -x488
X400> ... 
X400> exit

This example shows how to invoke the pmdf test -x400 utility for testing X.400-1988 address transformations, and then exit the utility with the exit command. Specifying the pmdf test -x488 qualifier will cause use of the following defaults: database x400, rhs_order, and orname x488.

% pmdf test -x400 -x484
X400> ... 
X400> exit

This example shows how to invoke the pmdf test -x400 utility for testing X.400-1988 address transformations, and then exit the utility with the exit command. Specifying the pmdf test -x484 qualifier will cause use of the following defaults: database x400, rhs_order, and orname x484.

% pmdf test -x400 -mb400
X400> ... 
X400> exit

This example shows how to invoke the pmdf test -x400 utility for testing Mailbus 400 (X.400-1988) address transformations using PMDF-MB400's own special TO_MB400 and FROM_MB400 databases, and then exit the utility with the exit command. Specifying the pmdf test -mb400 qualifier will cause use of the following defaults: database x400 (but using the TO_MB400 and FROM_MB400 databases rather than the default TO_X400 and FROM_X400 databases), rhs_order, and orname x488.
