NAME

       ltpcli - LTP-based BP convergence layer input task

SYNOPSIS

       ltpcli local_node_nbr

DESCRIPTION

       ltpcli is a background "daemon" task that receives LTP data transmission blocks, extracts
       bundles from the received blocks, and passes them to the bundle protocol agent on the
       local ION node.

       ltpcli is spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that
       starts operation of the Bundle Protocol; the text of the command that is used to spawn the
       task must be provided at the time the "ltp" convergence layer protocol is added to the BP
       database.  The convergence layer input task is terminated by bpadmin in response to an 'x'
       (STOP) command.  ltpcli can also be spawned and terminated in response to START and STOP
       commands that pertain specifically to the LTP convergence layer protocol.

EXIT STATUS

       "0" ltpcli terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this
           termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log
           file and use bpadmin to restart ltpcli.

       "1" ltpcli terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  Investigate and
           solve the problem identified in the log file, then use bpadmin to restart ltpcli.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

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

       ltpcli can't attach to BP.
           bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations.

       No such ltp duct.
           No LTP induct matching local_node_nbr has been added to the BP database.  Use bpadmin
           to stop the LTP convergence-layer protocol, add the induct, and then restart the LTP
           protocol.

       CLI task is already started for this duct.
           Redundant initiation of ltpcli.

       ltpcli can't initialize LTP.
           ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP operations.

       ltpcli can't open client access.
           Another task has already opened the client service for BP over LTP.

       ltpcli can't create receiver thread
           Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and restart LTP.
