NAME
     uucico - file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico [options]

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 exam-
               ple, the shell Uutry starts uucico with  debugging
               turned  on.  The debug_level is a number between 0



                                                                1

               and 9.  Higher numbers give more  detailed  debug-
               ging information.
