NAME
uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy
SYNOPSIS
uucp [ option ] ... source-file ... destination-file
uulog [ option ] ...
uuname [-l]
DESCRIPTION
Uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the
destination-file argument. A file name may be a path name on your
machine, or may have the form
system-name!pathname
where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which uucp
knows about. Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname
part will be expanded on the appropriate system.
Pathnames may be one of
(1) a full pathname;
(2) a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on the
specified system and is replaced by that user's login direc-
tory;
(3) anything else is prefixed by the current directory.
If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system the
copy will fail. If the destination-file is a directory, the last
part of the source-file name is used.
Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives
0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).
The following options are interpreted by uucp.
-d Make all necessary directories for the file copy.
-c Use the source file when copying out rather than copying the
file to the spool directory.
-m Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.
Uulog maintains a summary log of uucp and uux(1) transactions in the
file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering information from partial
log files named `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'. It removes the partial
log files.

The options cause uulog to print logging information:
-ssys
Print information about work involving system sys.
-uuser
Print information about work done for the specified user.
Uuname lists the uucp names of known systems. The -l option returns
the local system name.
FILES
/usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
/usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files

D. A. Nowitz, Uucp Implementation Description
WARNING
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious secu-
rity reasons, usually should) be severely restricted. You will very
likely not be able to fetch files by pathname; ask a responsible
person on the remote system to send them to you. For the same rea-
sons you will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary path-
names.
BUGS
All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a single
file. (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell charac-
ters ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
