NAME

       bpstats2 - Bundle Protocol (BP) processing statistics query utility via bundles

SYNOPSIS

       bpstats2 sourceEID [default destEID] [ct]

DESCRIPTION

       bpstats2 creates bundles containing the current values of all BP processing statistics accumulators.  It creates these bundles when:

       o   an interrogation bundle is delivered to sourceEID: the contents of the bundle are discarded, a new statistics bundle is generated and
	   sent to the source of the interrogation bundle.  The format of the interrogation bundle is irrelevant.

       o   a SIGUSR1 signal is delivered to the bpstats2 application: a new statistics bundle is generated and sent to default destEID.

EXIT STATUS

       0   bpstats2 has terminated. Any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file.

       1   bpstats2 failed to start up or receive bundles.  Diagnose the issue reported in the ion.log file and try again.

OPTIONS

       [ct]
	   If the string "ct" is appended as the last argument, then statistics bundles will be sent with custody transfer requested.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

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

       bpstats2 can't bp_attach().
	   bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.

       bpstats2 can't open own endpoint.
	   Another BP application has opened that endpoint; close it and try again.

       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 extent.
	   ION system error.  Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.

       bpstats2 can't send stats bundle.
	   Bundle Protocol service to the remote endpoint has been stopped.

       Can't send stats: bad dest EID (dest EID)
	   The destination EID printed is an invalid destination EID.  The destination EID may be specified in default destEID or the source EID
	   of the interrogation bundle.  Ensure that default destEID is an EID that is valid for ION, and that the interrogator is a source EID
	   that is also a valid destination EID.  Note that "dtn:none" is not a valid destination EID, but is a valid source EID.

NOTES

       A very simple interrogator is bpchat which can repeatedly interrogate bpstats2 by just striking the enter key.
