Synchronous Link Control (SLC) Programmer’s Guide

Figure 4–13 shows how to run the slc_trac trace program from the command-line

prompt on a typical UNIX client. The program requires three parameters, which the

operator provides either on the command-line itself, or as answers to questions dis-

played by the

slc_trac program (as shown in bold type). The actual method for exe-

cuting the

slc_trac program on your client may differ from the method shown.

The slc_trac program outputs all trace data to the standard error device (stderr) as

formatted ASCII text. In most client environments, the operator can redirect standard

error output to a ﬁle or view output directly on the terminal display screen. Figure 4–14

shows a sample of

slc_trac program trace data output in brief format. Figure 4–15

shows a sample of

slc_trac program trace data output in full format.
