Using the driver program from the command line
After compiling the source code or locating the prebuilt program supplied with the API, you are ready to use the driver program . When you execute the program, the system displays the following list of driver commands:

As in all API programs, you must provide the necessary login information and perform initialization operations for connecting to the . You can then use the commands to call any number of API functions.
When you are finished, you must terminate your interaction with the and exit the driver program. The following figure illustrates these high-level steps by using sample driver commands.
Order of driver commands
- init
- log
- ssp
- ver
Unlike calling the API functions directly, the driver interface prompts you for each input parameter. You can also specify driver logon information by using one of the following methods:
- Use the following command-line options:
-u user
-p password
-l language
-s server
For example:
driver -u Demo -p "fun4me" -s fred
Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
