binarsys(4)                (Essential Utilities)                binarsys(4)


   NAME
         binarsys - remote system information for the ckbinarsys command

   DESCRIPTION
         binarsys contains lines of the form:
                                remote_system_name:val
         where val is either Y or N.  This line indicates whether that
         particular remote system can properly deal with messages having
         binary content.  The absence of an entry for a particular system or
         absence of the binarsys file altogether will imply No.

         Blank lines or lines beginning with # are considered comments and
         ignored.  Should a line of Default=y be encountered, the default
         condition for missing entries described in the previous paragraph is
         reversed to be Yes.  Another line of Default=n will restore the
         default condition to No.

         mail is distributed with the binarsys file containing only a
         Default=y line.
