This doclet describes the command line tools. 

Before using any of these tools, you must set the enviroment by running set-env.bat.   You need only run it once for each command shell you open.

The command line compiler.  It will compile various source files into related object files. 

usage

Usage: compile sourcefile.ext objectfile

• The .ext will detirmine WHICH compiler is used.
• The following are currently supported:
  .sim == Sim compiler. Object file extension is .osm

example

C:\dev\autohit>java compile test1.sim test1

This will compile the file test1.sim using the Sim compiler.  If the compile is successful, it will create the file test1.osm, which is a compiled sim object.

The command line execution context.  It will run various object files using the appropriate VM. 

usage

Usage: run file.ext target {transport}

• The .ext will detirmine WHICH VM is used.  The following are currently supported:
  .osm == Sim VM.
• The target is passed to the registered transport as the target address.  This may or may not have meaning to the transport.
• The transport field is optional.  If a transport is specified, it will be registered with the VM.  If a transport is not specified, the Test Transport is used.   The following are currently supported:
  http == A light-wieght http transport.  It supports cookies and redirects.  It does not parse or otherwise interact with the fetched content.
  test == A test transport.  All requests are echoed to standard-out and forgotten.

example

C:\dev\autohit>java run test1.osm localhost http

This will run the test1 Sim against the web server on the same machine.

example

C:\dev\autohit>java run test1.osm x

This will run the test1 Sim using the test transport.  The target is a nonsense character since it isn't really needed by the test trasnport.

This will dump a compiled object to standard out.  It should be man-readable.   This is typically only used for platform debugging.

usage

C:\dev\autohit>java dump test1.osm
