BPRECVFILE(1)

💖 BPRECVFILE(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 you're looking at the bprecvfile page from the BP executables manual — it's the Bundle Protocol (BP) file reception utility, and yes she's iconic, yes she's a little chaotic, let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bprecvfile — the Bundle Protocol (BP) file reception utility, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bprecvfile own_endpoint_ID [max_files]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so bprecvfile is literally the counterpart to bpsendfile — they're giving duo energy 👑 she calls bp_receive() to receive bundles that are carrying file content, and the content of every single bundle just gets written straight into a file named testfileN, where N is the total number of bundles received since the program started running. so like, first bundle → testfile1, second → testfile2, you get it, she's counting, she's consistent 🦋

if you hand her a max_files value of N (and that's N > 0, periodt), she'll terminate automatically the moment she finishes that Nth file reception. no extra goodbye, she just dips 🌈

but if you don't give her a max_files? she runs indefinitely. forever. main character with no curfew. use ^C to terminate her 💀

---

💜 EXIT STATUS 💜

• "0" — bprecvfile has terminated. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🧚 FILES 🧚

No configuration files are needed. she comes as she is, lowkey self-sufficient 🌸

---

💅 ENVIRONMENT 💅

No environment variables apply. nothing to set up, nothing to export, we love a low-maintenance queen ✨

---

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

the following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file — so if something's giving drama, that's where the receipts are 🙈

• Can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.
• Can't open own endpoint. Another BP application task currently has own_endpoint_ID open for bundle origination and reception. Try again after that task has terminated. If no such task exists, it may have crashed while still holding the endpoint open; the easiest workaround is to select a different source endpoint.
• bprecvfile bundle reception failed. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
• bprecvfile: can't open test file File system error. bprecvfile terminates.
• bprecvfile: can't receive bundle content. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
• bprecvfile: can't write to test file File system error. bprecvfile terminates.
• bprecvfile cannot continue. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
• bprecvfile: can't handle bundle delivery. BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
