NAME

       bpsendfile - Bundle Protocol (BP) file transmission utility

SYNOPSIS

       bpsendfile own_endpoint_ID destination_endpoint_ID file_name [class_of_service]

DESCRIPTION

       bpsendfile uses bp_send() to issue a single bundle to a designated destination endpoint,
       containing the contents of the file identified by file_name, then terminates.  The bundle
       is sent with no custody transfer requested, with TTL of 300 seconds (5 minutes).  When
       class_of_service is omitted, the bundle is sent at standard priority; for details of the
       class_of_service parameter, see bptrace(1).

EXIT STATUS

       "0" bpsendfile 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.

       Can't stat the file
           Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and rerun.

       bpsendfile can't create file ref.
           Probably an unrecoverable database error, in which case the local ION node must be
           terminated and re-initialized.

       bpsendfile can't create ZCO.
           Probably an unrecoverable database error, in which case the local ION node must be
           terminated and re-initialized.

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