This program is used to access the line trace buffers updated by
SmartSync/DCP BSC processes.  This utility is strictly for diagnostic
purposes and should only be used under the direction of Serengeti Technical
Support.  You must turn on line trace from within 3780Link, but the dumping
of the line trace information is handled by running 

 thereafter.

The trace data retrieved by 

 is automatically written to both the

screen and an output file.  If you've configured one SmartSync/DCP, the
default file name is “trace. x” where x is the port number.  If you've
configured more than one board, the default file name is “trace.xy” where x is
the port number and y is the board number.  By default the output file is reset
when it reaches 100,000 bytes.  This enables 

 to run continuously

without overflowing disk storage.  The optional command line switches for

 are described below:

The -b switch specifies which SmartSync/DCP 

 is to access.  The

board number corresponds to the order in which they were configured.  If
omitted, 

 defaults to board 1.

The -p switch specifies which of the SmartSync/DCP ports to monitor for
trace data.  If omitted, 

 defaults to monitor port 1.

The -f switch specifies a file, other than the default, to record trace data.

The -m switch changes the default maximum output file size.  By default the
trace file is reset when it exceeds 100,000 bytes.  To change this default,
specify the maximum file size in kilobytes (1,024 bytes).   For example,       -
m50 establishes the maximum file size to be 50K bytes.
