It is common for BBS door programs to accept command line parameters
|
|
that permit various door-related settings, such as the serial port, baud
|
|
rate, and node number. This tip demonstrates how you can do this when
|
|
working with OpenDoors. This tip is presented in the following files:
|
|
|
|
cmdline.h - Header file for command line processing function.
|
|
cmdline.c - Implementation of command line processing function.
|
|
tip4.c - Example of a program that uses the command line
|
|
processing function.
|
|
|
|
The cmdline.c module implements the ParseStandardCommandLine() function,
|
|
which takes as its parameters the same argc and argv parameters that are
|
|
passed to the main() function of any C program. The
|
|
ParseStandardCommandLine() function then sets the appropriate OpenDoors
|
|
settings based on the following optional command-line parameters:
|
|
|
|
-L or -LOCAL - Causes door to operate in local mode, without
|
|
requiring a door information (drop) file.
|
|
-B x or -BPS x - Sets the bps (baud) rate to use.
|
|
-P x or -PORT x - Sets the serial port to use, were 0=COM1, 1=COM2,
|
|
etc.
|
|
-N x or -NODE x - Sets the node number to use.
|
|
-?, -H or -HELP - Displays command-line help and exits
|
|
-PERSONALITY x - Sets the sysop status line / function key
|
|
personality to use.
|
|
-MAXTIME x - Sets the maximum number of minutes that any
|
|
user will be permitted to access the door.
|
|
-ADDRESS x - Sets serial port address, to be used if FOSSIL
|
|
driver is not being used.
|
|
-IRQ x - Sets the serial port IRQ line, to be used if
|
|
FOSSIL driver is not being used.
|
|
-NOFOSSIL - Disables use of FOSSIL driver, even if it is
|
|
present.
|
|
-NOFIFO - Disables use of 16550 FIFO buffers (only if
|
|
FOSSIL driver is not being used).
|
|
-DROPFILE x - Door information file directory or
|
|
directory+filename.
|
|
-USERNAME x - Name of user who is currently online.
|
|
-TIMELEFT x - User's time remaining online.
|
|
-SECURITY x - User's security level.
|
|
-LOCATION x - Location from which user is calling.
|
|
|
|
Note that any information that is available from the door information
|
|
file overrides information provided on the command-line. If sufficient
|
|
parameters are provided on the command-line, the door can be operated
|
|
without a door information file. In order to do this, cmdline.c provides
|
|
a callback function that you can hook into od_control.od_no_file_func,
|
|
as demonstrated in tip4.c.
|
|
|
|
Case is not sensitive in the names of command line arguments.
