Program startup
When launching the ibvunit program, remember that all paths passed to it are counted relative to the executable file, unless they are absolute paths, in which case they are counted relative to the parent location (depending on the operating system: “/” or “Drive:”).
The program has the following command parameters:
- –version – displays the program version and ends the operation.
- –help – displays the manual help and ends the operation.
- –config PATCH – indicates the path to the program's configuration file (e.g. ibvunit.xml). This is an absolute or relative path, but it is counted not from the current location, but from the ibvunit executable file.
An example command to run the ibvunit program in a Linux system:
./ibvunit.exe --config ibvunit.xml
After starting the ibvunit program, the registers of all devices defined in the ibvunit.xml configuration file are available as variables for all IB-System programs.
All information and irregularities in the program operation will be logged according to the configuration in the ibvunit.xml file.
