DESCRIPTION

The uucico program transports Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) requests.  The
BNU commands uucp and uux both queue jobs that are transferred to the specified
computer by uucico after the required data, work, or execute files have been
created.

The uucico program is normally started by the scheduler, uusched, but it can be
started manually for debugging.  The BNU commands uutry, Uutry, Nutry, and
uukick also start uucico with debugging turned on.

The uucico program is a BNU daemon (a program executed internally to handle
file transfers and command executions).  It selects the device used for the
communications link, establishes the connection to the remote computer, and
performs the required login sequence.  The program also performs permission
checks, transfers data (D.*) and command (C.*) files, logs results, and
notifies specified users of transfer requests.  The uucio program is also the
shell for uucp call in.

FLAGS

-r role_number   The role numbers are the number 1 for the server mode and the
                 number 0 for client mode.  The default is 0.  If uucico is
                 started manually, this flag should be set to 1.

-x debug_level   Displays debugging information on the screen of the local
                 terminal.  The valid range for debug_level is 0 to 9.  The
                 higher the number, the more detailed the final report.  This
                 flag is useful in correcting problems with the expect-send
                 sequence in the Systems file.

-s system_name   The name of the remote system.  Use only when starting uucico
