6.3.3 Parameter
The program takes a single long argument which must not contain spaces. If the file paths (on Windows)
contain spaces then the entire argument must be enclosed in quotes. No spaces are allowed anywhere
else, whether or not quotes are used. If quotes are used then they are only permitted as the first and last
characters of the argument string.
The argument is divided into sub parameter separated by commas. All parameter are positional, if they
are omitted a comma must mark their place.
inputfile
The file containing the emulated mainframe output.
outputfile
The file to which the result is to be published.
sizefile
The file containing the input file's size at the time of the previous run. If specified,
this file is used to track the size of the input file, only publishing when it changes.
The file will generally not exist the first time it is specified. In that case, the pub-
lishing is done and the file is written for use in subsequent runs. The file contains a
number in binary form. It cannot be directly edited. If this parameter is not specified
then the publishing is always done regardless of the file's size.
interval
The polling interval for use with the size file. If this argument is specified it must be
a positive integer and it indicates a number of seconds between file size checks. In
this mode if the input file's size has not changed since the last invocation (based on
the size stored in the size file), the program goes into polling mode where it con-
