        Flood is a command line software. You can run it from Unix shell,
        MS-DOS prompt or simmilar facility of your operating system. Flood
        accepts only one argument, and that is a path to configuration file.
        Example:
        </p><pre class="screen">
$ flood /home/jacekp/tests/simple-test.xml
        </pre><p>
        If no argument is given, then flood uses standard input stream 
        (<code class="filename">stdin</code>), so you can use flood in pipe processing:
        </p><pre class="screen">
$ get_urls.py /usr/local/apache/logs/access.log | flood
        </pre><p>
        Flood outputs results to standard output stream
        (<code class="filename">stdout</code>) and errors (if any) to standard error
        stream (<code class="filename">stderr</code>). You can save result to file, or
        pipe it to flood processing script, like this:
        </p><pre class="screen">
$ flood /home/jacekp/tests/simple-test.xml &gt; /home/jacekp/tests/simple-test.out
$ flood /home/jacekp/tests/simple-test.xml | analize-relative
        </pre><p>
        If flood is used in shell scripts, then you can test <code class="envar">$?</code>
        variable for flood return code. If the code is 0, then flood has
        performed a successful test. Other value (usually greater than 0)
        means, that there was error during test.
        </p><p>
        There's ongoing development of GUI application for flood. When usable,
        such application will make working with flood much easier.
