NAME
     uupick - accept/reject file transfer attempts

SYNOPSIS
     uupick[ -s system]

DESCRIPTION
     uupick searches for files transmitted to the user.

OPTIONS
     No option specified:
          uupick searches the public directory /var/spool/uucppublic for
          files sent to the user from known remote systems.

     -s system
          uupick searches the public directory /var/spool/uucppublic for
          files sent from remote system system only.

     uupick searches the public directory for files destined for the user
     invoking uupick. For each entry (file or directory) it finds, it
     writes the following message to standard output:

          from system sysname: file filename
          from system sysname: directory dirname

     uupick then outputs a ? and waits for input from you telling it what
     to do with the entry. Your input can be any of the following:

     <RETURN>    Go on to the next entry.

     d           Delete the entry.

     m [dir]     Move the entry to directory dir. If you do not specify
                 dir, the default is the current working directory. If dir
                 is not an absolute path name, it is treated as being rela-
                 tive to the current working directory. dir may include
                 shell variables.

     a [dir]     Same as m [dir], except that it applies to all files sent
                 from remote system sysname.

     p           Write the contents of the file to standard output.

     q           Terminate uupick (same as <CTRL-D>).

     <CTRL-D>    Terminate uupick (same as q).

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed. If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined
     as the null string, it defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is like-
     wise undefined or null, the system acts as if it were not internation-
     alized.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

FILES
     var/spool/uucppublic
          Public directory in which files and directories are stored on the
          destination system.
