<para>
The CGI interface can be tested at the commandline by using the "QUERY_STRING" switch, such as:
</para>
<screen>
mapserv "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map"
</screen>
</informalexample>
<informalexample>
<para>
To suppress the HTTP headers, you can use the "<option>-nh</option>" switch, such as:
</para>
<screen>
mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map"
</screen>
</informalexample>
<informalexample>
<para>
To save the output into an image file, use the pipe command such as:
</para>
<screen>
mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=/home/user/wms.map&mode=map" > test.png
</screen>
