bpsource - Bundle Protocol transmission test shell

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

       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.

       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.

       No environment variables apply.

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

       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.
