💖 IMCADMIN(1) — the BP executables era, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about imcadmin from the BP executables corner of the ION universe 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

imcadmin — Interplanetary Multicast (IMC) scheme administration interface 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

imcadmin [ commands_filename ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, imcadmin configures how your local ION node routes bundles to endpoints whose IDs follow the imc endpoint ID scheme. and babes, imc is a CBHE-conformant scheme — which literally means every endpoint ID in the imc scheme is a string that looks exactly like this:

imc:group_number.service_number

where group_number (that's the IMC multicast group number, bestie) serves as the CBHE node number, and service_number identifies the specific application processing point. two little numbers doing the absolute most, we love to see it 👑

imcadmin operates in response to IMC scheme configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if you provided one. if you didn't? no worries, it prints a simple little prompt:

:

so you can type commands directly into standard input like the main character you are 💅

and if you're wondering what the format of the commands for commands_filename is, you can literally just ask imcadmin — use the h or ? commands at the prompt. the commands themselves are documented over in imcrc(5) 📖

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

  • "0" — Successful completion of IMC scheme administration. ate, no crumbs 🎉
  • "1" — Unsuccessful completion of IMC scheme administration, due to inability to attach to the Bundle Protocol system or to initialize the IMC scheme. it's giving flop era 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  • imcadmin — Enter interactive IMC scheme configuration command entry mode. just you and the prompt, vibing ✨
  • imcadmin host1.imcrc — Execute all configuration commands in host1.ipnrc, then terminate immediately.

🦋 FILES 🦋

See imcrc(5) for details of the IMC scheme configuration commands. that's the whole homework assignment, bestie 💜

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

No environment variables apply. zero. none. the environment said "not my problem" 🙈

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the ipnrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to imcadmin. Otherwise imcadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

like fr fr, Windows line endings will absolutely ruin this vibe. convert first, slay later 💅

The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:

  • imcadmin can't attach to BP. — Bundle Protocol has not been initialized on this computer. You need to run bpadmin(1) first.
  • imcadmin can't initialize routing database. — There is no SDR data store for imcadmin to use. Please run ionadmin(1) to start the local ION node.
  • Can't open command file... — The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

Various errors that don't cause imcadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see imcrc(5) for details.
