AMSSUB(1)

✨ AMSSUB(1) — AMS executables ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so the manual name is amssub 💖 it's the Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) test message receiver for VxWorks, and honestly it's giving testing tool that actually slays 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

amssub "application_name", "authority_name", "subject_name"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, amssub is a message reception program built to test AMS functionality in a VxWorks environment 🧚 when an amssub task starts up, it does a whole little checklist: it registers as an application module in the root unit of the venture named by application_name and authority_name ✨ then it looks up the subject number for subject_name, subscribes to that subject, and starts receiving and printing messages on that subject 📨 it keeps going until you terminate it with amsstop 🛑

ngl there are two things that have to be running first or amssub is not going to run 😭 you need a configuration server for the local continuum and a registrar for the root unit of the indicated venture 💜 these can both be instantiated in a single amsd daemon task, which is lowkey so efficient 🙈

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

• -1 — amssub terminated with an error, and the details are in the ion.log file 💀
• "0" — amssub terminated normally 🌈

🍓 FILES 🍓

the amssub source code lives in the amspubsub.c source file 💅

you also need a MIB initialization file with the applicable default name (check out amsrc(5) for that) 📂 it has to be present or things will not go well 😭

🫶 ENVIRONMENT 🫶

no environment variables apply here ✨ literally nothing to set up, iconic 👑

🙈 DIAGNOSTICS 🙈

okay the error messages, let's vibe check them 🔍

• amssub can't register. — amssub failed to register, and the reason is noted in the ion.log file 😭
• amssub: subject is unknown — amssub couldn't subscribe to messages on the specified subject 💀 this is possibly an error in the MIB initialization file, so go peek at that first 🧚
• amssub can't subscribe. — amssub failed to subscribe, and again the reason is in the ion.log file 📝
• amssub can't get event. — amssub failed to receive a message, and the reason is noted in the ion.log file 🥲
