NAME
openhpi-switcher - allows alternative openhpi library
types to coexist
SYNOPSIS
openhpi-switcher --list
openhpi-switcher --set standard
openhpi-switcher --env client
DESCRIPTION
OpenHPI has 2 different
connection libraries, a stand alone version suitable for most
purposes, and a clien library which connects to an HPI service daemon, needed in more demanding
environments. openhpi-switcher manages which one is the default on
the system.
OPTIONS SUMMARY
--list - display available openhpi types
--show - show default openhpi
--set=name - set default openhpi type
--env=name - return required environment stanza to set openhpi
type for a single application
--help - display this message
OPTIONS
- --list
- Displays all available OpenHPI types by
name. An * will be presented in front of which ever is the
default.
- --show
- Show the name of the default OpenHPI type
on the system.
- --set=name
- Sets the default OpenHPI type on the
system. This involves manipulating symlinks in $prefix/lib
in your installation, and thus requires root privledges to run.
- --env=name
- Return a string suitable for export under
bash that will set ``name'' as the default OpenHPI to be used in
that shell only. This is intended for applications which wish to
run under a different OpenHPI than is provided by default in their
environment.
BUGS
The openhpid still isn't aware
enough to not try to use the client library itself, so a very
whacky loop can occur. This will be addressed before OpenHPI 2.2
