DCCPLSI(1)

💖 DCCPLSI(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the LTP executables corner of the man pages, this one's dccplsi, and she's a whole mood 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

dccplsi — the DCCP-based LTP link service input task, aka the girl who sits in the background catching datagrams so you don't have to 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dccplsi {local_hostname | @}[:local_port_nbr]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So dccplsi is a background "daemon" task, right? Her whole job is receiving DCCP datagrams through a DCCP socket that's bound to local_hostname and local_port_nbr, pulling the LTP segments out of those datagrams, and handing them over to the local LTP engine. no cap, that's the gig 💖

if the host name is "@", that's the vibe-check shortcut meaning "use whatever host name hostname(1) gives back" as the socket's host name. and if you don't specify the port? it defaults to 1113. periodt.

the link service input task gets spawned automatically by ltpadmin when you hit it with the 's' command that starts operation of the LTP protocol. and here's the thing — the text of the command used to spawn the task has to be provided as a parameter to that 's' command, iykyk. then ltpadmin shuts her down in response to an 'x' (STOP) command. iconic teamwork honestly 🤝

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

• "0" — dccplsi terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. if this termination wasn't commanded (not me getting ghosted by my own daemon 😭), investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and use ltpadmin to restart dccplsi.
• "1" — dccplsi terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file, then use ltpadmin to restart dccplsi.

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

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

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables apply. nothing. zero. clean girl aesthetic 🧚

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

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

• dccplsi can't initialize LTP. — ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP protocol operations. bestie she needs her foundation laid first fr fr.
• LSI task is already started. — Redundant initiation of dccplsi. she's already here, she's already booked, stop trying to double-book her 🙈
• LSI can't open DCCP socket. This probably means DCCP is not supported on your system. — Operating system error. this probably means that you are not using an operating system that supports DCCP. make sure that you are using a current Linux kernel and that the DCCP modules are being compiled. check errtext, correct problem, and restart dccplsi.
• LSI can't initialize socket. — Operating system error. check errtext, correct problem, and restart dccplsi.
• LSI can't create listener thread. — Operating system error. check errtext, correct problem, and restart dccplsi.

lowkey every single one of these ends with "check errtext, correct problem, and restart" — the manpage said what it said and honestly? consistent queen behavior 💅
