SYNTAX
uucp [ options ] source-files destination-file
uulog [ options ] -ssystem
uulog [ options ] -fsystem
uuname [ -l ] [ -c ]
DESCRIPTION
uucp
uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the
destination-file argument. A file name may be a path name on
your machine, or may have the form:
system-name!path-name
where system-name is taken from a list of system names that uucp
knows about. The system-name may also be a list of names such as
system-name!system-name!...!system-name!path-name
in which case an attempt is made to send the file via the
specified route, to the destination. See WARNINGS and BUGS below
for restrictions. Care should be taken to ensure that
intermediate nodes in the route are willing to foward information
(see WARNINGS below for restrictions).
The shell metacharacters ?, * and [...] appearing in path-name
will be expanded on the appropriate system.
Path names may be one of:
(1) a full path name;
(2) a path name preceded by ~user where user is a login
name on the specified system and is replaced by that
user's login directory;
(3) a path name preceded by ~/destination where destination
is appended to /usr/spool/uucppublic; (NOTE: This
destination will be treated as a file name unless more
than one file is being transfered by this request or
the destination is already a directory. To ensure that

it is a directory, follow the destination with a '/'.
For example ~/dan/ as the destination will create the
directory /usr/spool/uucppublic/dan if it does not
exist and put the requested file(s) in that directory).
(4) anything else is prefixed by the current directory.
If the result is an erroneous path name for the remote system the
copy will fail. If the destination-file is a directory, the
source-file name is used.
uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and
gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).
The following options are interpreted by uucp:
-c Do not copy local file to the spool directory for
transfer to the remote machine (default).
-C Force the copy of local files to the spool directory
for transfer.
-d Make all necessary directories for the file copy
(default).
-f Do not make intermediate directories for the file copy.
-ggrade Grade is a single letter/number; lower ASCII sequence
characters will cause the job to be transmitted earlier
during a particular conversation.
-j Output the job identification ASCII string on the
standard output. This job identification can be used
by uustat to obtain the status or terminate a job.
-m Send mail to the requester when the copy is completed.
-nuser Notify user on the remote system that a file was sent.
-r Do not start the file transfer, just queue the job.
-sfile Report status of the transfer to file. Note that the
file must be a full path name.
-xdebug_level
Produce debugging output on standard output. The
debug_level is a number between 0 and 9; higher numbers
give more detailed information.

uulog
uulog queries a log file of uucp or uuxqt transactions in a file
/usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico/system, or
/usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uuxqt/system.
The options cause uulog to print logging information:
-ssys Print information about file transfer work involving
system sys.
-fsystem Does a ``tail -f'' of the file transfer log for system.
(You must press ^D to exit this function.)
-x Look in the uuxqt log file for the given system.
-number Indicates that a ``tail'' command of number lines
should be executed (see "WARNING" section)..
uuname
uuname lists the names of systems known to uucp. The -c option
lists the names of systems known to cu. (The two lists are the
same, unless your machine is using different Systems files for cu
and uucp. See the Sysfiles file.) The -l option returns the
local system name.

EXAMPLES
$ uucp -d -m file? sys2!/usr/spool/uucppublic
The above example will send any files that begin with "file" and
have one other character at the end of the name (such as "file1",
"file2" "file3", etc.) to sys_2. All of the files will be
deposited into the /usr/spool/uucppublic on sys_2. With the
included options, directories will be created as needed, and the
user will be notified by mail about the file transfer.

WARNINGS
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious
security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted. You
will very likely not be able to fetch files by path name; ask a
responsible person on the remote system to send them to you. For
the same reasons you will probably not be able to send files to
arbitrary path names. As distributed, the remotely accessible
files are those whose names begin /usr/spool/uucppublic
(equivalent to ~/).
All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a single
file. Receiving multiple files specified by special shell
characters ? * [...] will not activate the -m option.
The forwarding of files through other systems may not be
compatible with the previous version of uucp. If forwarding is
used, all systems in the route must have the same version of
uucp.
The value 0 will print out the entire file when using uulog-
number.
BUGS
Protected files and files that are in protected directories that
are owned by the requestor can be sent by uucp. However, if the
requestor is root, and the directory is not searchable by "other"
or the file is not readable by "other", the request will fail.
