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 interfaces 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.
-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.
