To make a simple QA test for the ndex
program, sort the Unix system dictionary, for example, "sort
-u /usr/local/lib/dict/websters > db" to make a database,
then "ndex db" and type some words to look
up. Alternatively, "ndex db < db > output" should look
up every word in the dictionary, and the "output" file
should be identical, in every respect, to the database file,
"db". To make a simple QA test for the ndex,
program with large database files, again, just sort multiple
instances of the the Unix system dictionary, for example,
"sort /usr/local/lib/dict/websters
/usr/local/lib/dict/websters ... > db" then, again, "ndex
db < db > output" and compare the "db" file with the
"output" file. Also, using the -P option, the "output" file
should be null, since all words should be found. To make a simple QA test for the ndex
program with a large tab delimited flat file database, use
the Unix paste(1) command, for example, "paste websters
websters > db" will make a tab delimited file of all the
words in the Unix system dictionary. Then using partial
keys, "ndex -e db < websters.tab > output". The
database file, "db", and the output file, "output" will not
compare precisely unless the query file, "websters.tab"
contains the trailing tab space for each word.
