✨ NAME ✨

amspub - Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) test driver for VxWorks 🦋

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

amspub "application_name", "authority_name", "subject_name",
"message_text"

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so amspub is a message publication program built to test AMS functionality in a VxWorks environment 🧚 it's giving test driver energy, no cap. When an amspub task starts, it registers as an application module in the root unit of the venture named by application_name and authority_name, looks up the subject number for subject_name, publishes a single message containing message_text on that subject, unregisters, and then terminates. Bestie, it's a one-and-done vibe ✨

Lowkey important: a configuration server for the local continuum AND a registrar for the root unit of the indicated venture need to be running before amspub can do its thing 🫶 Those two can both live inside a single amsd daemon task, which is so efficient 👑

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

• -1 — amspub terminated with an error, and the details are waiting in the ion.log file 😭
• "0" — amspub terminated normally 💖

📁 FILES 📁

The amspub source code lives in the amspubsub.c source file 💜

A MIB initialization file with the applicable default name (see amsrc(5)) must be present. No skipping this one, periodt 🍓

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables apply here, so you're free and clear 🦋

🙈 DIAGNOSTICS 🙈

• amspub can't register. — amspub couldn't register, and the reason is noted in the ion.log file 💀
• amspub: subject is unknown — amspub can't publish test messages on the subject you gave it. Possibly an error in the MIB initialization file, so go check that first 🔍
• amspub can't publish message. — amspub failed to publish, and the reason is noted in the ion.log file 😭
