uucico(1M)                                             uucico(1M)



NAME
     uucico - transfers files as specified by uucp work files

SYNOPSIS
     uucico [-cdevice-type] [-dspool-directory] [-f]
     [-iinterface] [-rmode] [-ssystem] [-ulogin-name]
     [-xdebug-level]

ARGUMENTS
     -cdevice-type
          Causes uucico to connect only those systems whose
          entries in the device-type field, which is the first
          field in /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file, match the value of
          device-type.  The value of device-type is usually the
          name of a local area network.

     -dspool-directory
          Causes uucico to override the default spool directory,
          /usr/spool/uucp, and use the absolute pathname of a
          directory specified by spool-directory.  The spool
          directory contains uucp work files.

     -f   Overrides the limit on the maximum number of concurrent
          uucico processes as defined in the file
          /usr/lib/uucp/Limits.

     -iinterface
          Defines the interface to be used by uucico in slave
          mode.  Known interfaces are UNIX(Reg.)(default), TCP,
          801, or 212.

     -rmode
          Causes uucico to start up in the mode specified by
          mode.  A value of 1 specifies master mode. A value of 0
          specifies slave mode, which is the default.  When in
          master mode, uucico initiates the conversation with
          another instance of uucico on a remote system.  When in
          slave mode, uucico responds to a uucico process that is
          in master mode.  For any single conversation, there
          must be one instance of uucico in master mode and one
          instance in slave mode. If you start uucico at the
          command line or from a program, such as cron, mode is
          usually 1.

     -ssystem
          Causes uucico to contact the system specified by
          system.  The uucico command matches the value of system
          with the first field of the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file
          to get the information that it needs to contact the
          remote system.  This option is required when uucico
          runs in master mode. The maximum length of system is 14
          characters.

     -xdebug-level
          Causes uucico to run with debugging turned on and at
          the debug level specified by debug-level.  The value of
          debug-level is a number from 0 to 9.  Higher numbers
          produce more detailed debugging information.

DESCRIPTION
     uucico transfers files as specified by the work files that
     are created by the uucp command.

FILES
     /usr/lib/uucp
          Directory of uucp commands and configuration files
     /usr/lib/uucp/Devconfig
          File that configures devices by the type of service
          they provide, such as cu or uucico
     /usr/lib/uucp/Devices
          File that describes the devices that can be used to
          connect to other systems
     /usr/lib/uucp/Limits
          File that limits the number of concurrent uucico,
          uuxqt, and uusched processes
     /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions
          File that defines user permissions to read and write
          files
     /usr/lib/uucp/Sysfiles
          Optional file specifying that cu or uucp is to use a
          file other than the default file,
          /usr/lib/uucp/Systems, to get configuration information
          for remote systems
     /usr/lib/uucp/Systems
          File that lists the systems to call and how to call
          them
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucico
          Executable file
     /usr/spool/locks/*
          Directory of uucp lock files
     /usr/spool/uucp/*
          Directory of uucp work files
     /usr/spool/uucppublic/*
          Directory of files that uucp has transferred
