- /usr/share/doc/lnpd/examples/lnptest.c
- sample BrickOS code to be built and downloaded to your RCX. This code allows you to quickly ascertain that the lnpd daemon is working with your RCX and lnpd installation.
- /bin/lnptest
- a simple test program which uses lnpd to communicate with the lnptest program downloaded into your RCX for testing with this program.
