DESCRIPTION

     fractalpooluser is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU)
     for the FractalGenerator service. It uses a Qt-based X11 GUI.

ARGUMENTS

     The following options are available:

     -identifier=PU_identifier
         Sets a fixed PU identifier. Handle with care!

     -poolhandle=pool_handle
         Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default
         setting is "FractalGeneratorPool".

     Service Parameters:

         -configdir=directory
                 Sets a directory to look for FGP config files. From all
                 FGP files (pattern: *.fgp) in this directory, random
                 files are selected for the calculation of requests.

         -caption=window_title
                 Sets the output window title.

         -width=pixels
                 Sets the width of the window and the images to be
                 calculated.

         -height=pixels
                 Sets the height of the window and the images to be
                 calculated.

         -threads=threads
                 Sets the number of parallel sessions to use for
                 processing of each image.

         -sendtimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the transmission timeout.

         -recvtimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the receive timeout.

         -interimagetime=seconds
                 Sets the pause time between two image calculations in
                 seconds.

         -imagestorageprefix=file_name_prefix
                 Sets a file name prefix for saving the calculated images.
                 If set, each successfully calculated image is stored to
                 the given location as PNG file, with a 6-digit file
                 number added.

         -colormarks
                 Turns on color change on session failover.

         -nocolormarks
                 Turns off color change on session failover.

         -sessions
                 Turns on color change between different sessions.

         -nosessions
                 Turns off color change between different sessions.

     ASAP Protocol Parameters:

         -registrar=address:port
                 Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table.  It is
                 possible to add multiple entries.

         -registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

         -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

         -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials
                 Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment
                 trials.

         -registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.

         -registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds
                 Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.

         -registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials
                 Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

     Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:

         -cspserver=address:port
                 Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the
                 content of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used.
                 If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

         -cspinterval=milliseconds
                 Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in
                 milliseconds. By default, the content of the environment
                 variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP
                 status reports will be sent.

     Logging Parameters:

         -logappend=filename
                 Write logging output to a file (default is stdout);
                 output will be appended to given file.

         -logcolor=on|off
                 Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

         -logfile=filename
                 Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given
                 file will be overwritten.

         -loglevel=0-9
                 Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very
                 verbose).  It is recommended to use at least a value of 2
                 to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

ENVIRONMENT

     fractalpooluser uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and
     CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to in the specified
     interval.

DIAGNOSTICS

     If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified
     log file.
