Invoking the YAZ client

It can be started by typing

yaz-client [-m fname] [-a fname] [-c fname] [-v level] [-p target] [-u auth] [-k size] [zurl]

in a UNIX shell / WIN32 console. The zurl, specifies a Z39.50 host and, if specified, the client first tries to establish connection with the Z39.50 target on the host. Options are prefixed by - followed by a particular letter.

The following options are supported:

In order to connect to Index Data's test Z39.50 server on bagel.indexdata.dk, port 210 and with the database name marc, one would have to type


    yaz-client bagel.indexdata.dk:210/marc
   

In order to enable APDU log and connect to localhost, port 210 (default) and database Default (default) you'd write:


    yaz-client -a - localhost
   

The following command connects to a local server via UNIX socket /tmp/yaz and sets maximum message size to 5 MB.


    yaz-client -k 5120 unix:/tmp/yaz
