The server acts as a real Z39.50/SRU server but does not use a database. It returns a random hit count and returns a subset of a few built-in records. The listener-spec consists of a transport mode followed by a colon, followed by a listener address. The transport mode is either tcp, unix, or ssl. For TCP and SSL, an address has the form: hostname | IP-number [ : portnumber ] For UNIX local socket the address is the filename of the local socket. OPTIONS &gfs-options; TESTING yaz-ztest normally returns a random hit count between 0 and 24. However, if a query term includes leading digits, then the integer value of that term is used as hit count. This allows testers to return any number of hits. yaz-ztest includes 24 MARC records for testing. Hit counts exceeding 24 will make yaz-ztest return the same record batch over and over.. So record at position 1, 25, 49, etc .. are equivalent. The following databases are honored by yaz-ztest: Default, slow and db.* (all databases with prefix "db"). Any other database will make yaz-ztest return diagnostic 109: "Database unavailable". Options for search may be included in the form or URL get arguments included as part of the Z39.50 database name. The following database options are present: search-delay, present-delay, fetch-delay and seed. The former, delay type options, specify a fake delay (sleep) that yaz-ztest will perform when searching, presenting, fetching records respectively. The value of the delay may either be a fixed floating point value which specifies the delay in seconds. Alternatively the value may be given as two floating point numbers separated by colon, which wil make yaz-ztest perform a random sleep between the first and second number. The database parameter seed takes an integer as value. This will call srand with this integer to ensure that the random behavior can be re-played. Suppose we want searches to take between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds and a fetch to take 0.2 second. To access test database Default we'd use: Default?search-delay=0.1:0.5&fetch-delay=0.2.
