NAME
     uucico - file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico [options]

DESCRIPTION
     uucico is the file transport  program  for  uucp  work  file
     transfers.  The following options are available.

     -ctype The first field in the Devices  file  is  the  "Type"
            field.   The  -c  option  forces  uucico  to only use
            entries in the  "Type"  field  that  match  the  user
            specified  type.   The  specified type is usually the
            name of a local area network.

     -dspool_directory
            This option specifies the  directory  spool_directory
            that  contains the uucp work files to be transferred.
            The default spool directory is /var/spool/uucp.

     -f     This option is used to "force execution" of uucico by
            ignoring  the  limit on the maximum number of uucicos
            defined in the /etc/uucp/Limits file.

     -iinterface
            This option defines the interface used  with  uucico.
            The  interface only affects slave mode.  Known inter-
            faces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic Transport  Layer
            Interface),  and TLIS (Transport Layer Interface with
            Streams modules, read/write).

     -rrole_number
            The  role_number  1  is   used   for   master   mode.
            role_number 0 is used for slave mode (default).  When
            uucico is started by a program or cron, role_number 1
            should be used for master mode.

     -ssystem_name
            The -s option defines the remote system (system_name)
            that uucico will try to contact.  It is required when
            the role is master; system_name must  be  defined  in
            the Systems file.

     -Ssystem_name
            Similar to -s except will override the time field  in
            the Systems file.  Must be root or uucp to use the -S
            option.

     -xdebug_level
            Both uux and uucp queue jobs that will be transferred
            by  uucico.   These  jobs are normally started by the

            uusched scheduler, for debugging purposes, and can be
            started  manually.   For  example,  the  shell  Uutry
            starts  uucico  with  debugging   turned   on.    The
            debug_level  is  a  number  between  0 and 9.  Higher
            numbers give more detailed debugging information.
