NAME

amspub - Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) test driver for VxWorks

SYNOPSIS

amspub "application_name", "authority_name", "subject_name", "message_text"

DESCRIPTION

amspub is a message publication program designed to test AMS functionality in a VxWorks environment. When an amspub task is started, it registers as an application module in the root unit of the venture identified by application_name and authority_name, looks up the subject number for subject_name, publishes a single message with content message_text on that subject, unregisters, and terminates.

A configuration server for the local continuum and a registrar for the root unit of the indicated venture (which may both be instantiated in a single amsd daemon task) must be running in order for amspub to run.

EXIT STATUS

-1

amspub terminated with an error as noted in the ion.log file.
"0"

amspub terminated normally.

FILES

The amspub source code is in the amspubsub.c source file.

A MIB initialization file with the applicable default name (see amsrc(5)) must be present.

ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.
