dadInit

dadInit defines the connection parameters for further calls to dadConnect. dadInit calls before dadHost can be overwritten by definitions from dadHost and a dadInit call after dadHost can overwrite dadHost definitions. dadInit reads in a file named dadinit.cnf in either the current directory ( ./ ) or in $DAD_LIB or in $HERMES_LIB (in that order). The syntax of dadinit.cnf looks like

# comments start with a # on the line
#
# -----------------------------------
hermes.desy.de INET 10600 calBC  rw
hermes.desy.de INET 10605 online rwu

namely it consists of comments which start with an # sign and of lines in the same syntax as the dadHost call: The lines start with the name argument which is either a filename or a hostname followed by the connection type (see above) and the port number. Afterwards the dataflow name and the connection flags are given. It is not possible to give no connection flags! The following flags are supported:

r for CAC_READ
u for CAC_UPDATE
w for CAC_WRITE
b for CAC_BOOK
g for CAC_GENTABLES
n for CAC_NDELAY
k for CAC_KEYTABLE
t for CAC_NOSYNC

f77:  Call dadInit 
  or
C:    int dadInit( void );
