🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

fractalpooluser is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU) for the FractalGenerator service. It uses a Qt-based X11 GUI. No cap, that’s the whole vibe 💫

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

The following options are available:

• -identifier=PU_identifier — Sets a fixed PU identifier. ⚠️ Handle with care!
• -poolhandle=pool_handle — Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default setting is "FractalGeneratorPool".

💖 Service Parameters: 💖

• -configdir=directory — Sets a directory to look for FGP config files. From all FGP files (pattern: *.fgp) in this directory, random files are selected for the calculation of requests. 🗂️
• -caption=window_title — Sets the output window title.
• -width=pixels — Sets the width of the window and the images to be calculated.
• -height=pixels — Sets the height of the window and the images to be calculated.
• -threads=threads — Sets the number of parallel sessions to use for processing of each image.
• -sendtimeout=milliseconds — Sets the transmission timeout.
• -recvtimeout=milliseconds — Sets the receive timeout.
• -interimagetime=seconds — Sets the pause time between two image calculations in seconds.
• -imagestorageprefix=file_name_prefix — Sets a file name prefix for saving the calculated images. If set, each successfully calculated image is stored to the given location as PNG file, with a 6-digit file number added. 🖼️
• -colormarks — Turns on color change on session failover.
• -nocolormarks — Turns off color change on session failover.
• -sessions — Turns on color change between different sessions.
• -nosessions — Turns off color change between different sessions.

🌈 ASAP Protocol Parameters: 🌈

• -registrar=address:port — Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table. It is possible to add multiple entries.
• -registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds — Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.
• -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds — Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.
• -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials — Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment trials.
• -registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds — Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.
• -registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds — Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.
• -registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials — Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

🧚 Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters: 🧚

• -cspserver=address:port — Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the content of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.
• -cspinterval=milliseconds — Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in milliseconds. By default, the content of the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

🍓 Logging Parameters: 🍓

• -logappend=filename — Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); output will be appended to given file.
• -logcolor=on|off — Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.
• -logfile=filename — Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given file will be overwritten.
• -loglevel=0-9 — Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose). It is recommended to use at least a value of 2 to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

🌟 ENVIRONMENT 🌟

fractalpooluser uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to in the specified interval.

🩺 DIAGNOSTICS 🩺

If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified log file. 👀
