📦 version 0.9.0, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 lnptest2 — the shorter LNP test, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is lnptest2, from the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, for the girlies keeping score 🎀). Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

lnptest2 — LNP Client Test Application #2 (shorter test)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lnptest2

that's it. no args. no flags. she just runs. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so lnptest2 is an LNP Daemon test client, and her whole job is testing the connection between a client LNP program (that's her, she's the client LNP program in this scenario, main character energy fr) and the LNP daemon — going through the Ir Tower to a corresponding test program running in an RCX. like a whole little relay race of vibes. 🏃‍♀️✨

if you wanna see where the RCX test program source code lives, check the FILES section — it's distributed with this package, no gatekeeping here 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

lnptest2 does not support command-line options. nope. zero. none. she said "i don't need options, i need to test this connection." iconic behavior honestly 😌

🎀 USAGE 🎀

to run the test, do all of this in order, bestie, don't skip steps:

  1. compile the lnptest2.c RCX program
  2. start the lnpd daemon
  3. download the lnptest2.lx program to the RCX
  4. at the RCX, run the program just downloaded to the RCX
  5. run this lnptest2 program
  6. inspect the output looking for lack of failure messages
step 6 is the vibe check fr fr — no failure messages = slay, failure messages = we have a situation 😭

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • /usr/share/doc/lnpd/examples/rcx — in this directory is the source to the RCX-side program, which is called lnptest2.c but written to be compiled against BrickOS. yes the name matches, no that's not a typo, that's just how she is 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

you can find additional documentation in /usr/share/doc/lnpd (on Debian GNU/Linux systems) 📚✨
