NAME

       dcmpssnd - Network send for presentation state viewer

SYNOPSIS

       dcmpssnd [options] config-file target study [series] [instance]

DESCRIPTION

       The  dcmpssnd  application  is  invoked  by  the  Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Viewer and is not
       intended to be invoked manually. The application reads the common  configuration  file  which  is  shared
       between  the  different  components  of  the  viewer,  attempts to establish a DICOM association with the
       selected target and, if successful, selects the required DICOM instances from the viewer's  database  and
       transmits  them  using  the  DICOM storage service class, which is supported as SCU. When transmission is
       finished (successfully or unsuccessfully), the application terminates. This application supports the same
       storage SOP classes as the storescu utility, but does not support encapsulated transfer syntaxes. See the
       full conformance statement for further details.

         -ll  --log-level  [l]evel: string constant
                (fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace)
                use level l for the logger

         -lc  --log-config  [f]ilename: string
                use config file f for the logger

LOGGING

       The level of logging output of the various command line tools and underlying libraries can  be  specified
       by  the user. By default, only errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using option
       --verbose also informational messages like processing details are reported. Option --debug can be used to
       get more details on the internal activity, e.g. for debugging  purposes.  Other  logging  levels  can  be
       selected  using  option  --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal errors are reported. In such very severe
       error events, the application will usually terminate. For more details on the different  logging  levels,
       see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix)
       or  the  event  log  (Windows)  option  --log-config can be used. This configuration file also allows for
       directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for filtering certain messages based on
       the module or application where they  are  generated.  An  example  configuration  file  is  provided  in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

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 behavior 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 unless they appear between two  quotation  marks)
       prior  to  any  further  evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file.
       This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common combinations of options/parameters  and
       avoids longish and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT

       The  dcmpssnd  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
       <datadir>/dicom.dic  will  be  loaded  unless  the  dictionary is built into the application (default for
       Windows).

       The default behavior 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. On  Windows  systems,  a  semicolon
       (';')  is  used  as a separator. 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.
