Comment: added performance subcommand

...

daffodil parse -s csv.dfdl.xsd test_file.csv

Performance Subcommand

Run a performance test (parse or unparse), using either a DFDL schema or a saved parser

Info

The unparse option of the performance subcommand was implemented as of version 1.1.0.

Usage

daffodil performance (-s <schema> [-r [{namespace}]<root>] [-p <path>] |  -P <parser) [--unparse] [--validate [mode]] [-N <number of files to process] [-t <threadcount>] [-D[{namespace}]<variable>=<value>] <infile>

Options

 

LongShortArgumentsDescription
--schema
-s
<schema>
The annotated DFDL schema to use to create the parser. This option cannot be used with the --parser option.
--root
-r
[{<namespace>}]<root>
The root element of the DFDL schema to use. This must be one of the top-level elements of the schema defined with --schema. This requires the --schema option to be defined. If not supplied, the first element of the schema defined with --schema is used. A namespace may be specified by prefixing it with {namespace}.
--path
-p
<path>
The path to the node from the root element to create the parser from.
--parser
-P
<parser>
Use a previously saved parser, created using the save-parser subcommand. This option cannot be used with the --schema option or with the --validate option set to 'on'.
 
-D
[{<namespace>}]<variable>=<value>

Variables to be used when parsing. The variable can be prefixed with {namespace} to define which namespace the variable belongs in, for example:

-D{http://example.com}var1=val

 
-T
<tunable>=<value>

Modify Daffodil configuration options to change processing behavior. See Configuration File#Tunable Parameters for the list of tunable parameters.

--unparse
 
 
Perform unparse instead of parse for performance.
--validate
-V
[mode]
The validation mode. 'on', 'limited' or 'off'. If 'mode' is not provided, defaults to 'on'. If --validate is not provided, defaults to 'off'. Mode cannot be 'on' when used with the --parser option.
--config-c<file>XML file containing configuration items, such as external variables or Daffodil tunables. See  Configuration File for details on the file format.
  
[infile]

Input file or directory containing files to process

--version
  Display the version of Daffodil.
--help
  Display help message.

Example

daffodil performance -s csv.dfdl.xsd -N 1000 -t 5 test_file.csv

Unparse Subcommand

Unparse an infoset file, using either a DFDL schema or a saved parser.

Info

The unparse subcommand was implemented as of version 1.1.0.

Usage

daffodil unparse (-s <schema> [-r [{<namespace>}]<root>] [-p <path>] | -P <parser>) [-D[{<namespace>}]<variable>=<value>...] [-T<tunable>=<value>] [-o <output>] [-V [mode]] [-c <file>] [infile]
