NAME

uucico, in.uucpd − file transport programs for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [options]

/usr/sbin/in.uucpd

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. 

in.uucpd is provided strictly for BSD compatabilty. Uucp communication over the TCP protocol between System V machines should use the TLI listener.  However, this is not possible when the remote machine is a BSD system. The in.uucpd daemon accepts incoming uucp requests over the network and starts uucico to handle the job. in.uucpd is faithful to the original BSD version, which means that it can only be used for file transfers - login facilities such as cu will not function.
