NAME

       bping - Send and receive Bundle Protocol echo bundles.

SYNOPSIS

       bping [-c count] [-i interval] [-p priority] [-q wait] [-r flags] [-t ttl] srcEID destEID [reporttoEID]

DESCRIPTION

       bping sends bundles from srcEID to destEID.  If the destEID echoes the bundles back (for instance, it is a bpecho endpoint), bping will
       print the round-trip time.  When complete, bping will print statistics before exiting.  It is very similar to ping, except it works with
       the bundle protocol.

       bping terminates when one of the following happens: it receives the SIGINT signal (Ctrl+C), it receives responses to all of the bundles it
       sent, or it has sent all count of its bundles and waited wait seconds.

EXIT STATUS

       These exit statuses are taken from ping.

       0   bping has terminated normally, and received responses to all the packets it sent.

       1   bping has terminated normally, but it did not receive responses to all the packets it sent.

       2   bping has terminated due to an error.  Details should be noted in the ion.log log file.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Diagnostic messages produced by bping are written to the ION log file ion.log and printed to standard error.  Diagnostic messages that
       don't cause bping to terminate indicate a failure parsing an echo response bundle.  This means that destEID isn't an echo endpoint: it's
       responding with some other bundle message of an unexpected format.

       Can't attach to BP.
	   bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations.

       Can't open own endpoint.
	   Another application has already opened ownEndpointId.  Terminate that application and rerun.

       bping bundle reception failed.
	   BP system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       No space for ZCO extent.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       Can't create ZCO.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       bping can't send echo bundle.
	   BP system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

NAME

       bpsendfile - Bundle Protocol (BP) file transmission utility

SYNOPSIS

       bpsendfile own_endpoint_ID destination_endpoint_ID file_name [class_of_service]

DESCRIPTION

       bpsendfile uses bp_send() to issue a single bundle to a designated destination endpoint, containing the contents of the file identified by
       file_name, then terminates.  The bundle is sent with no custody transfer requested, with TTL of 300 seconds (5 minutes).  When
       class_of_service is omitted, the bundle is sent at standard priority; for details of the class_of_service parameter, see bptrace(1).

EXIT STATUS

       0   bpsendfile has terminated.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

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

       Can't attach to BP.
	   bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.

       Can't open own endpoint.
	   Another BP application task currently has own_endpoint_ID open for bundle origination and reception.  Try again after that task has
	   terminated.	If no such task exists, it may have crashed while still holding the endpoint open; the easiest workaround is to select a
	   different source endpoint.

       Can't stat the file
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       bpsendfile can't create file ref.
	   Probably an unrecoverable database error, in which case the local ION node must be terminated and re-initialized.

       bpsendfile can't create ZCO.
	   Probably an unrecoverable database error, in which case the local ION node must be terminated and re-initialized.

       bpsendfile can't send file in bundle.
	   BP system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
