NAME

binarsys − remote system information for the ckbinarsys command

DESCRIPTION

binarsys contains lines of the form:

remote_system_name:val where val is either Y or N.  This line indicates whether that particular remote system can properly deal with messages having 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 condition 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.
