NAME
     zoomsh - ZOOM shell

SYNOPSIS
     zoomsh [commands...]

DESCRIPTION
     zoomsh is a ZOOM client with a simple command line
     interface. The client demonstrates the ZOOM API and is
     useful for testing targets.

     You may pass one or more commands to zoomsh. These commands
     are invoked first.

EXAMPLES
     If you start the yaz-ztest in one console you can use the
     ZOOM shell as follows:

         $ zoomsh
         ZOOM>connect localhost:9999
         ZOOM>search computer
         localhost:9999: 7 hits
         ZOOM>show 0 1

         001    11224466
         003 DLC
         005 00000000000000.0
         008 910710c19910701nju           00010 eng
         010    $a    11224466
         040    $a DLC $c DLC
         050 00 $a 123-xyz
         100 10 $a Jack Collins
         245 10 $a How to program a computer
         260 1  $a Penguin
         263    $a 8710
         300    $a p. cm.
         ZOOM>quit



     You can also achieve the same result by passing the commands
     as arguments on a single command line:

     $ zoomsh "connect localhost:9999" "search computer" "show 0
     1" quit

     close [_z_u_r_l]
         Closes connection to target given by _z_u_r_l or all targets
