bpadmin - ION Bundle Protocol (BP) administration interface

       Report bugs to <ion-bugs@korgano.eecs.ohiou.edu>

bpadmin configures, starts, manages, and stops bundle protocol operations for the local ION node.

       It operates in response to BP configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if
       not, bpadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input.
       If commands_filename is a period (.), the effect is the same as if a command file containing the single
       command 'x' were passed to bpadmin -- that is, the ION node's bpclock task, forwarder tasks, and
       convergence layer adapter tasks are stopped.

       The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from bpadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at
       the prompt.  The commands are documented in bprc(5).

Note:  all  ION  administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-
       delimited.  If you edit the bprc file on a Windows machine, be sure to usedos2unixtoconvertittoUnixtextformat before presenting it to bpadmin.  Otherwise bpadmin will detect syntax errors  and  will  not
       function satisfactorily.

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

       ION can't set custodian EID information.
           The  custodial_endpoint_id  specified  in the BP initialization ('1') command is malformed.  Remember
           that the format for this argument is ipn:element_number.0 and  that  the  final  0  is  required,  as
           custodial/administration  service  is always service 0.  Additional detail for this error is provided
           if one of the following other errors is present:

               Malformed EID.

               Malformed custodian EID.

       bpadmin can't attach to ION.
           There is no SDR data store for bpadmin to use.  You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set  up  an  SDR
           data store for ION.

       Can't open command file...
           The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

       Various  errors  that  don't cause bpadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by
       improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file.  Please  see  bprc(5)
       for details.

       No environment variables apply.
