Initialization Directives

Use initialization directives to set up the content of the script file. These directives must appear before execution directives because the tool preprocesses the script file and builds process command buffers.

The @THREADS and @PROCESSES directives are mutually exclusive. In other words, the P2STRING tool supports either multithreaded or multiprocess execution in a script file (not both). In addition, there is a limit of 10 processes or threads per script file. The following table lists the supported initialization directives.

Directive

Description

@PROCESSES=x

Specifies the number (x) of processes the script file will be running. For example:

@PROCESSES=2

@THREADS=x

Specifies the number (x) of threads the script file will be running.

@EVENTS={n[=0|1] [,n[=0|1]]}

Specifies one or more names of events. Events are user-defined with a maximum of 15 characters. Events can be set to 1 or 0. Set an event to 1 for an event that is set with the @SET_EVENT execution directive. Set an event to 0 to clear or reset the event. If no initialization values are specified, the event is initialized to 0. For example:

@EVENTS={brad=1,john=1,test=0}
