GZFILE_TEST(1)

👑 GZFILE_TEST 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands corner of the manual, where gzFile_test lives — the IBM Hardware Accelerator Tool. that's the name, that's the vibe, let's go 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gzFile_test [OPTION]... [IN_FILE] [OUT_FILE]...

so you got your options, you got your IN_FILE, you got your OUT_FILE (and yeah, you can stack more than one of those files at the end, no cap 💖).

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🎀 Special options for testing and debugging:

these are the little secret-menu treats for testing and debugging, okay? not your everyday girlies, these ones are for poking at stuff 🔥

• -v, --verbose — turns the yapping up. more output, more detail, more info about what's happening 💬
• -A, --accelerator-type=GENWQE|CAPI — pick your accelerator type, either GENWQE or CAPI. CAPI is only available for IBM System p, so if you're not on one of those, that door is locked, bestie 🚪😭
• -B, --card=<card_no> — choose which card you want. and listen, if you set card_no to -1, that's the automatic card selection, i.e. it picks for you. let the algorithm be the main character for once 👑
• -O, --offset=<offset> — cuts out data at this byte offset. like scissors but for bytes ✂️
• -s, --size=<size> — cuts size bytes out. so -O says where to start snipping and -s says how much to snip 💅
• -i, --i_bufsize — the input buffer size, and the default is 32 KiB 📥
• -o, --o_bufsize — the output buffer size, and the default is 8 KiB 📤

heads up bestie: -i/-o are the input and output buffer sizes — not to be confused, they're different numbers, 32 KiB in and 8 KiB out. remember it. periodt.
