bpchat - Bundle Protocol chat test program

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

bpchat uses Bundle Protocol to send input text in bundles, and display the payload of received bundles as
       output.  It is similar to the talk utility, but operates over the Bundle Protocol.  It operates like a
       combination of the bpsource and bpsink utilities in one program (unlike bpsource, bpchat emits bundles
       with a sourceEID).

       If the sourceEID and destEID are both bpchat applications, then two users can chat with each other over
       the Bundle Protocol: lines that one user types on the keyboard will be transported over the network in
       bundles and displayed on the screen of the other user (and the reverse).

       bpchat terminates upon receiving the SIGQUIT signal, i.e., ^C from the keyboard.

       Diagnostic messages produced by bpchat are written to the ION log file ion.log.

       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.

       bpchat 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.

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

       No environment variables apply.

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

       "1" bpchat has terminated due to a BP transmit or reception failure.  Details  should  be  noted  in  the
           ion.log log file.

       No configuration files are needed.
