Using SWID as a Server
Considerations
The application using SWID can issue the five commands discussed in any order. An
application might choose not to use the DisplayStatistics command at all or use
it multiple times. The reply to the DisplayStatistics command contains the latest
run statistics for the SWID server.
It is recommended that the application first use the WhoRU command to verify that the
product version of SWID is compatible with the application.
SWID uses startup DEFAULTS to expand the input file set with the GetFpts
command. As noted, when you use the -BS switch, the -DS and -FO switches have no
effect.

end
Note. If no files match the file set or if the file set is invalid, SWID returns nothing, and the
application receives countread as zero.
