BPCHAT(1) BP executables BPCHAT(1) NAME
bpchat - Bundle Protocol chat test program SYNOPSIS
bpchat sourceEID destEID [ct] DESCRIPTION
bpchat uses Bundle Protocol to send input text in bundles, and display the payload of received bundles as output. It is similar to the talk utility, but operates over the Bundle Protocol. It operates like a combination of the bpsource and bpsink utilities in one program (unlike bpsource, bpchat emits bundles with a sourceEID). If the sourceEID and destEID are both bpchat applications, then two users can chat with each other over the Bundle Protocol: lines that one user types on the keyboard will be transported over the network in bundles and displayed on the screen of the other user (and the reverse). bpchat terminates upon receiving the SIGQUIT signal, i.e., ^C from the keyboard. EXIT STATUS
0 bpchat has terminated normally. Any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file. 1 bpchat has terminated due to a BP transmit or reception failure. Details should be noted in the ion.log log file. OPTIONS
[ct] If the string "ct" is appended as the last argument, then bundles will be sent with custody transfer requested. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic messages produced by bpchat are written to the ION log file ion.log. Can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations. Can't open own endpoint. Another application has already opened ownEndpointId. Terminate that application and rerun. bpchat bundle reception failed. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. No space for ZCO extent. ION system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. Can't create ZCO. ION system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bpchat can't send echo bundle. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. BUGS

BPSTATS2(1) BP executables BPSTATS2(1) NAME
bpstats2 - Bundle Protocol (BP) processing statistics query utility via bundles SYNOPSIS
bpstats2 sourceEID [default destEID] [ct] DESCRIPTION
bpstats2 creates bundles containing the current values of all BP processing statistics accumulators. It creates these bundles when: o an interrogation bundle is delivered to sourceEID: the contents of the bundle are discarded, a new statistics bundle is generated and sent to the source of the interrogation bundle. The format of the interrogation bundle is irrelevant. o a SIGUSR1 signal is delivered to the bpstats2 application: a new statistics bundle is generated and sent to default destEID. EXIT STATUS
0 bpstats2 has terminated. Any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file. 1 bpstats2 failed to start up or receive bundles. Diagnose the issue reported in the ion.log file and try again. OPTIONS
[ct] If the string "ct" is appended as the last argument, then statistics bundles will be sent with custody transfer requested. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file: bpstats2 can't bp_attach(). bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations. bpstats2 can't open own endpoint. Another BP application has opened that endpoint; close it and try again. No space for ZCO extent. ION system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. Can't create ZCO extent. ION system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bpstats2 can't send stats bundle. Bundle Protocol service to the remote endpoint has been stopped. Can't send stats: bad dest EID (dest EID) The destination EID printed is an invalid destination EID. The destination EID may be specified in default destEID or the source EID of the interrogation bundle. Ensure that default destEID is an EID that is valid for ION, and that the interrogator is a source EID that is also a valid destination EID. Note that "dtn:none" is not a valid destination EID, but is a valid source EID. NOTES
A very simple interrogator is bpchat which can repeatedly interrogate bpstats2 by just striking the enter key. BUGS
