bprecvfile(1) Bundle Protocol (BP) file reception utility

SYNOPSIS

bprecvfile own_endpoint_ID [max_files]

DESCRIPTION

bprecvfile is intended to serve as the counterpart to bpsendfile. It uses bp_receive() to receive bundles containing file content. The content of each bundle is simply written to a file named ``testfileN'' where N is the total number of bundles received since the program began running.

If a max_files value of N (where N > 0) is provided, the program will terminate automatically upon completing its Nth file reception. Otherwise it will run indefinitely; use ^C to terminate the program.

EXIT STATUS

"0"
bprecvfile 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.
bprecvfile bundle reception failed.
BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
bprecvfile: can't open test file
File system error. bprecvfile terminates.
bprecvfile: can't receive bundle content.
BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
bprecvfile: can't write to test file
File system error. bprecvfile terminates.
bprecvfile cannot continue.
BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
bprecvfile: can't handle bundle delivery.
BP system error. Check for earlier diagnostic messages describing the cause of the error; correct problem and rerun.
