RZ(1)                            DG/UX R4.11                           RZ(1)


NAME
       rz - ZMODEM (Batch) file receive

SYNOPSIS
       rz [- +1abDepqtuv]

DESCRIPTION
       This program uses error correcting protocol to receive files over a
       serial port from a variety of programs running under PC-DOS, CP/M,
       Unix, and other operating systems.

       rz (Receive ZMODEM) receives files with the ZMODEM batch protocol.
       rz on DG/UX does not support the YMODEM or XMODEM protocols.

       If rz is invoked with stdout and stderr to different datasets,
       Verbose is set to 2, causing frame by frame progress reports to
       stderr.  This may be disabled with the q option.


       The meanings of the available options are:

       1      Use file descriptor 1 for ioctls and reads (Unix only).  By
              default, file descriptor 0 is used for ioctls and reads.
       a      Convert files to Unix conventions by stripping carriage
              returns and all characters beginning with the first Control Z
              (CP/M end of file).
       b      Binary (tell it like it is) file transfer override.
       D      Output file data to /dev/null; for testing.
       e      Force sender to escape all control characters; normally XON,
              XOFF, DLE, CR-@-CR, and Ctrl-X are escaped.
       p      (ZMODEM) Protect: skip file if destination file exists.
       q      Quiet suppresses verbosity.
       t tim  Change timeout to tim tenths of seconds.
       v      Verbose causes a list of file names to be appended to
              /tmp/rzlog .  More v's generate more output.

Compile time options required for various operating systems are described in
the source file.

NOTES
       The Unix "ulimit" parameter must be set high enough to permit large
       file transfers.

       The TTY input buffering on some systems may not allow long blocks or
       streaming input at high speed.  You should suspect this problem when
       you can't send data to the Unix system at high speeds using ZMODEM.
       If the system's tty line handling is really broken, the serial port
       or the entire system may not survive the onslaught of long bursts of
       high speed data.

ZMODEM CAPABILITIES
       rz supports incoming ZMODEM binary (-b), ASCII (-a), protect (-p),
       and append (-+) requests, and ZMODEM command execution.

FILES
       rz.c, zmodem.h source files.

       /tmp/rzlog stores debugging output generated with -vv option.
