FLCL Utility

Frankenstein Limes Command Line (FLCL) is a batch utility to execute the following subprograms:

• FLUC - Frankenstein Limes Universal Converter (conversion)
• FLAM - Frankenstein Limes Access Method (compression and encryption)
• FLIES - Frankenstein Limes Integrated Extended Security (management)

Each subprogram is also available as DLL/SO or load modules to integrate FLAM into your own applications. The subprogram interface supports each command as dedicated function, which accepts the corresponding command string.

For example, this call of FLCL:

   :> flcl info "get.file=test.txt"

is also available in C programming language as:

   ret=flucinfo("get.file=test.txt");

or in COBOL as:

   CALL "FCUINFO" USING rtc 19 "get.file='test.gz'" 0 " " 7 ":STDERR" 0 " "

The subprograms are called through the commands below:

• INFO - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> flucinfo()
• CONV - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> flucconv()
• XCNV - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> flucxcnv()
• XCHK - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> flucxchk()
• HASH - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> fluchash()
• UTIL - a command of the subprogram 'FLUC' -> flucutil()
• COMP - a command of the subprogram 'FLAM' -> flamcomp()
• DECO - a command of the subprogram 'FLAM' -> flamdeco()
• FIND - a command of the subprogram 'FLIES' -> flisfind()
• CHNG - a command of the subprogram 'FLIES' -> flischng()

The FLCL can be used in scripts to automate batch processing. The command interpretation is platform independent and optimized for different shells like Windows® batch files, Unix bash or z/OS® JCL.
