gdamcli(1)

NAME
gdamcli - directly control a gdam server.

SYNOPSIS
gdamcli [ --gdam-server gdamserver-location ] [ --device device_path ] [ --device-options device_options ] [script-filename ] [ -e 'command' ]

DESCRIPTION
gdamcli is a simple client which allows you to talk directly to a gdam server. You can use unix-like commands to talk to the server. With no scripts or -e specified, gdamcli enters into interactive mode, where it will prompt you for one command at a time until you type quit or exit. You may instead specify any number of scripts and commands directly on the command line. All non-option arguments are treated as scripts. Sometimes it is more convenient to just run one command and exit; you may do that with the -e option.

COMMANDS
