LTPCOUNTER(1)

📦 version 3.2.1, in ubuntu jammy

💖 LTPCOUNTER — the LTP reception test program, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is ltpcounter(1), part of the LTP executables crew, and she is literally the girl who stands at the door and counts how much data walked in. 🚪✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ltpcounter client_ID [max_nbr_of_bytes]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: ltpcounter uses LTP to receive service data units that are flagged with the client service number client_ID, and it gets them from a remote ltpdriver client service process. 👑 Remote bestie sends, we receive, iconic teamwork.

The way that it works is — when the total number of bytes of client service data it has received goes over max_nbr_of_bytes, it terminates and prints out reception and cancellation statistics. Like, it's done, it's clocking out, and it's leaving receipts. 💅

If max_nbr_of_bytes is omitted, the default limit is 2 billion bytes. yeah. two billion. no cap.

And while it's receiving data, ltpcounter prints a 'v' character every 5 seconds to show it's still alive. tiny little heartbeat, she's breathing, she's fine. 🫶

🎀 EXIT STATUS 🎀

  • "0" — ltpcounter has terminated. Any problems it ran into along the way get noted in the ion.log log file.
  • "1" — ltpcounter was unable to start, because either it could not attach to the LTP protocol on the local node, or it could not open access to client service clientId.
    • In the former case (couldn't attach to LTP): run ltpadmin to start LTP and try again. go go go 🏃‍♀️
    • In the latter case (couldn't open the client service): some other client service task has already opened access to client service clientId. If no such task is currently running — like, say, it crashed while holding the client service open — then use ltpadmin to stop and restart the LTP protocol. periodt.

🌸 FILES 🌸

No configuration files are needed. zero. none. nothing to set up, we love a low-maintenance queen. 🧚

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

No environment variables apply. nada. 💜

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Diagnostic messages produced by ltpcounter are written to the ION log file ion.log.

  • ltpcounter can't initialize LTP.
    • ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP protocol operations.
  • ltpcounter can't open client access.
    • Another task has opened access to service client clientId and has not yet relinquished it.
  • Can't get LTP notice.
    • LTP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct the problem and rerun. 😭
