💖 BPCPD(1) — CFDP executables 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the bpcpd era — this is the CFDP executable that runs the whole show in the background, so let's get into it 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

bpcpd — the ION Delay Tolerant Networking remote file copy daemon. yeah. that's a whole mouthful. she's iconic tho 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bpcpd [-d | -v]

literally just that. two flags. that's the whole vibe check 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so bpcpd is the daemon for bpcp. together they copy files between hosts, and the way they do it is by using NASA JPL's Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) to provide a delay tolerant network. yes bestie, interplanetary. main character energy fr fr 🚀✨

here are the options, permitted as follows:

  • -d — Debug output. and like, repeat it for increased verbosity. no cap, stack them up and she will talk more 🔥
  • -v — Display version information. a little "hi, this is me" moment 🎀

now the important part, bestie, so listen up 🫶

bpcpd must be running in order to copy files from this host to another host (i.e. remote to local). copies in the other direction (local to remote) do not require bpcpd. okay so the vibes are directional, iykyk 💫

🚨 and further, bpcpd should NOT be run simultaneously with bpcp or cfdptest. like, do not. they do not share well. it's giving chaos 😭

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • "0" — bpcpd terminated normally. slay, she's fine, she's at peace ✨
  • "1" — bpcpd terminated abnormally. check the console and the ion.log file for error messages. something went off and you gotta go read the receipts 🙈

🍓 FILES 🍓

No configuration files are needed. like, none. she's low maintenance, she's unbothered, she's thriving 💅

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

No environment variables apply. nope, not a single one. the environment is not her business 🌸
