ndnpingserver
=============
Synopsis
--------
**ndnpingserver** [-h] [-f *freshness*] [-p *count*] [-s *size*] [-t] [-q] [-V] *prefix*
Description
-----------
:program:`ndnpingserver` listens for the specified Interest prefix and sends Data packets when
an Interest under that prefix is received. Once :program:`ndnpingserver` either reaches the
specified total number of Interests to be satisfied or receives an interrupt signal, it prints
the number of Data packets sent.
*prefix* is interpreted as the Interest prefix to listen for. The FreshnessPeriod of Data packets
is set with the **-f** option (default 1 second). The content is by default empty, but if a size
is specified with the **-s** option, it contains the specified number of the letter "a". Finally,
the Data is signed with a SHA-256 digest.
Options
-------
``-h``
Print help and exit.
``-f``
Set freshness period in milliseconds.
``-p``
Maximum number of pings to satisfy. A value of 0 means no limit.
``-s``
Size of the response payload.
``-t``
Print a timestamp before each log message.
``-q``
Do not print a log message each time a ping is received.
``-V``
Print version and exit.
Examples
--------
Listen on ``/edu/arizona`` and respond to at most 4 pings, printing the timestamp
on each received ping::
ndnpingserver -p 4 -t /edu/arizona
