binarsys(4)                                                     binarsys(4)

NAME
     binarsys - remote system information for the ckbinarsys command

DESCRIPTION
     binarsys contains lines of the form:

          remotesystemname:val

     where val is either Y or N. This line indicates whether that particu-
     lar remote system can deal properly with messages that have a binary
     content. The absence of an entry for a particular system or absence of
     the binarsys file altogether will imply No.

     Blank lines or lines beginning with # are considered comments and
     ignored. Should a line of Default=y be encountered, the default condi-
     tion for missing entries described in the previous paragraph is
     reversed to be Yes. Another line of Default=n will restore the default
     condition to No.

     mail is distributed with the binarsys file containing only a Default=y
     line.
