💅 BPLIST(1) — BP executables, bestie edition 💅

okay so real talk, this one's from the BP executables crew and it's literally just bplist, no cap. pull up a chair, we're doing a vibe check on your bundle queue 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bplist — the Bundle Protocol (BP) utility for listing queued bundles. it's giving "inventory day but make it space networking" 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bplist

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, she just goes 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bplist is a utility program that lists all bundles currently chilling in the local bundle agent's "timeline" list — and it does it in expiration-time sequence, so the ones about to yeet themselves out of existence are at the front of the line. main character behavior honestly 👑

it prints the identifying primary block information, plus hex and ASCII dumps of the payload and all extension blocks. so you're getting the whole picture, not just a teaser. no crumbs left behind fr fr 🍓

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • "0" — bplist terminated, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. she said her goodbyes, check the receipts 💜
  • "1" — bplist was unable to attach to Bundle Protocol operations, probably because bpadmin has not yet been run. like showing up to the party before anyone turned the lights on 😭

🎀 FILES 🎀

No configuration files are needed. zero setup, she's low maintenance, we love that for her 🧚

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables apply. nothing lurking in your shell, no sneaky little gremlins 🙈

⭐ DIAGNOSTICS ⭐

the following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

  • Can't attach to BP. — bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.
so if you see that one in the log, that's your sign that bpadmin hasn't done its thing yet. go run it first, bestie, then come back 💀
