💖 BPCOUNTER(1) 💖

okay so real quick — this page lives in the BP executables section of the manual, and today we're talking about bpcounter. she's a Bundle Protocol reception test program and honestly? she just counts. iconically. 🧚✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bpcounter — Bundle Protocol reception test program

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bpcounter ownEndpointId [maxCount]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So bestie, here's the tea: bpcounter speaks Bundle Protocol to receive application data units from a remote bpdriver application task. she's the receiving end of that whole situation. 💅

The way she works is: once the total number of application data units she's received exceeds maxCount, she terminates and prints her reception count. that's it. that's the job. 🎀

And if you leave maxCount out? no worries. the default limit is 2 billion application data units. not me casually defaulting to two billion, she's got range. 👑

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • "0" — bpcounter has terminated. Any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file. (so if something went weird, that's where the receipts are, fr fr)

🎀 FILES 🎀

No configuration files are needed. literally none. nothing to set up. we love a low-maintenance queen. 🫶

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables apply. zero. nada. she doesn't want to hear about your exports. 🙈

💜 DIAGNOSTICS 💜

Diagnostic messages produced by bpcounter 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. (yeah, someone else is already in that seat bestie, ask them to move 💀)
  • bpcounter bundle reception failed.
    • BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
