NAME
termscu - DICOM termination SCU
SYNOPSIS
termscu [options] peer port
DESCRIPTION
The termscu application implements a Service Class User (SCU) for
DCMTK’s private Shutdown SOP Class. It tries to negotiate this private
Shutdown SOP Class with a Service Class Provider (SCP) which (if this
feature is implemen- nted) will immediately shutdown after refusing the
association. The appli- cation can be used to shutdown some of DCMTK’s
server applications.
PARAMETERS
peer hostname of DICOM peer
port tcp/ip port number of peer
OPTIONS
general options
-h --help
print this help text and exit
--version
print version information and exit
-v --verbose
verbose mode, print processing details
-d --debug
debug mode, print debug information
network options
application entity titles:
-aet --aetitle aetitle: string
set my calling AE title (default: ECHOSCU)
-aec --call aetitle: string
set called AE title of peer (default: ANY-SCP)
other network options:
-pdu --max-pdu [n]umber of bytes: integer [4096..131072]
set max receive pdu to n bytes (default: 16384)
NOTES
DICOM Conformance
The termscu application supports the following SOP Classes as an SCU:
PrivateShutdownSOPClass 1.2.276.0.7230010.3.4.1915765545.18030.917282194.0
COMMAND LINE
All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
means 0 to n values.
Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading ’+’
or ’-’ sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
behaviour conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
shells.
In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an ’@’
sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
(multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator) prior to any
further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain
another command file. This simple but effective approach allows to
summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish
and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file
share/data/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
The termscu utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
<PREFIX>/lib/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built
into the application (default for Windows).
The default behaviour should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are
required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (’:’) separates entries.
The data dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data
dictionary can be loaded.
