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. BUGS

BPSOURCE(1) BP executables BPSOURCE(1) NAME
bpsource - Bundle Protocol transmission test shell SYNOPSIS
bpsource destinationEndpointId ['text'] [-tTTL] DESCRIPTION
When text is supplied, bpsource simply uses Bundle Protocol to send text to a counterpart bpsink application task that has opened the BP endpoint identified by destinationEndpointId, then terminates. Otherwise, bpsource offers the user an interactive "shell" for testing Bundle Protocol data transmission. bpsource prints a prompt string (": ") to stdout, accepts a string of text from stdin, uses Bundle Protocol to send the string to a counterpart bpsink application task that has opened the BP endpoint identified by destinationEndpointId, then prints another prompt string and so on. To terminate the program, enter a string consisting of a single exclamation point (!) character. TTL indicates the number of seconds the bundles may remain in the network, undelivered, before they are automatically destroyed. If omitted, TTL defaults to 300 seconds. The source endpoint ID for each bundle sent by bpsource is the null endpoint ID, i.e., the bundles are anonymous. All bundles are sent standard priority with no custody transfer and no status reports requested. EXIT STATUS
0 bpsource has terminated. Any problems encountered during operation will be noted in the ion.log log file. FILES
The service data units transmitted by bpsource are sequences of text obtained from a file in the current working directory named "bpsourceAduFile", which bpsource creates automatically. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic messages produced by bpsource are written to the ION log file ion.log. Can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations. bpsource fgets failed Operating system error. Check errtext, 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 extent. ION system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun. bpsource can't send ADU Bundle Protocol service to the remote endpoint has been stopped. BUGS
