- XPA commands no longer have a resolver
routine (this is open to negotiations, but we decided the idea was
dumb). For the SAOtng program, this means that you have explicitly
specify the fits access point, i.e.,:
cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng fits
instead of:
cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng
- *
- By default, xpaset, xpaget, etc. now wait for the server
callback to complete; i.e., the old -W is implied (and the switch
is ignored). This allows support for better error handling. If you
want xpaset, etc. to return before the callback is complete, use -n
switch:
echo "file foo.fits" | xpaset -n SAOtng
- *
- The old -w switch in xpaset and xpaget is no longer necessary
(and is ignored), since you can have more than one process
communicating with an xpa access point at one time.
- *
- The new -p switch on xpaset means you need not read from
stdout:
xpaset -p SAOtng colormap I8
will send the paramlist to the SAOtng callback without reading
from stdin.
