NAME

bibeadmin - bundle-in-bundle encapsulation database administration interface

SYNOPSIS

bibeadmin [ commands_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

bibeadmin configures the local ION node's database of parameters governing the forwarding of BIBE PDUs to specified remote nodes.

bibeadmin operates in response to BIBE configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, bibeadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input.

The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from bibeadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are documented in biberc(5).

EXIT STATUS

"0" Successful completion of BIBE administration.
"1" Unsuccessful completion of BIBE administration, due to inability to attach to the Bundle Protocol system or to initialize the BIBE database.

EXAMPLES

bibeadmin

Enter interactive BIBE configuration command entry mode.
bibeadmin host1.biberc

Execute all configuration commands in host1.biberc, then terminate immediately.

FILES

See biberc(5) for details of the BIBE configuration commands.

ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the biberc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to bibeadmin. Otherwise bibeadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

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

bibeadmin can't attach to BP.

Bundle Protocol has not been initialized on this computer. You need to run bpadmin(1) first.
bibeadmin can't initialize routing database.

There is no SDR data store for bibeadmin to use. Please run ionadmin(1) to start the local ION node.
Can't open command file...

The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

Various errors that don't cause bibeadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see biberc(5) for details.
