📦 version 3.2.1, in ubuntu jammy

💖 BPSINK(1) — the Bundle Protocol reception test program 💖

okay bestie, so this is bpsink, one of the BP executables (that's the manual section it lives in, periodt), and honestly? she's a whole vibe. let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

bpsink — Bundle Protocol reception test program 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bpsink ownEndpointId

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like. bpsink uses Bundle Protocol to receive application data units from a remote bpsource application task. think of bpsource as the one yapping and bpsink as the bestie actually listening. 🫶

for every single application data unit she receives, she prints the ADU's length — and, only if that length is less than 80, she also prints its text. no cap, that's the whole personality.

bpsink terminates upon receiving the SIGQUIT signal — i.e. ^C from the keyboard. she said "ok bye" and meant it 💅

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — bpsink has terminated. any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file. so like, she leaves receipts. 🙈

🍓 FILES 🍓

No configuration files are needed. zero. none. she's low maintenance fr fr.

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

No environment variables apply. she doesn't read the room, or the env, or anything. iconic honestly.

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

diagnostic messages produced by bpsink are written to the ION log file ion.log. 📝

  • Can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations. like, the whole thing isn't even set up yet bestie.
  • Can't open own endpoint. another application has already opened ownEndpointId. terminate that application and rerun. she's taken, unfortunately. 😭
  • bpsink bundle reception failed. BP system error. check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
  • Can't receive payload. BP system error. check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
  • Can't handle delivery. BP system error. check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
ngl bestie, three of those are the same energy: BP system error → go read the earlier messages → fix it → rerun. the log knows what happened, she's just not gonna repeat herself. 💅
