Cvt
PURPOSE
Moves old UUCP files into new BNU directories.
SYNOPSIS
Cvt [-n] file...
DESCRIPTION
The Cvt command moves existing (old) UNIX-to-UNIX Copy
Program (UUCP) data and command files into new Basic Net-
working Utilities (BNU) directories.
After the new BNU programs are installed, issue Cvt
before attempting to use the BNU functions. The Cvt
shell handles the command (C.*) and data (D.*) files
created under the old UUCP facility so that they will run
under the new BNU facility. The command first creates
the required new BNU directories and then moves the old
UUCP files (located in the /usr/spool/uucp directory)
into those directories.
To issue Cvt from the command line, a user must have
superuser privileges.
Note: If Cvt is not used to move old UUCP command and
data files into new BNU directories, those files will not
run after the new BNU Program is installed.
FLAGS
-n Displays the message explaining the actions that Cvt
performs but does not execute the command. A file can
be specified for D.* and C.* files, but not for X.*
(execute) files.
FILES
/usr/adm/uucp Directory in which Cvt is
stored.
/usr/spool/uucp Spooling directory.
