Invoking the YAZ client

yaz-client [-m fname] [-a fname] [-c fname] [-v level] [-p target] [-u auth] [-k size] [zurl]

-m fname: All retrieved transfer records are appended to file fname. All records as returned by a target(s) in Search Responses and Present Responses are appended verbatim to the file.
-a fname: Pretty-print log of APDUs sent and received is appended to the file fname. If fname is - (minus) the APDU log is written to stderr.
-c fname: Sets the filename for CCL fields to fname. If this option is not given the YAZ client reads CCL fields from file default.bib.
-v level: Sets the LOG level to level. Level is a sequence of tokens separated by comma. Each token is a integer or a named LOG item - one of fatal, debug, warn, log, malloc, all, none.
-p target: Specifies proxy address. When set YAZ client will connect to a proxy on the address and port given. The actual target will be specified as part of the InitRequest to inform the proxy about actual target.
-u auth: Specifies authentication. Usually the form user/password is used. This option does the same thing as the auth command.
-k size: Specifies the maximum messages size in kilobytes. The default maximum message size for the YAZ client is 1024 (1 MB).
