NAME

Temporary − Stores data files during transfers to remote systems

SYNOPSIS

/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000

DESCRIPTION

The uucp Temporary (TM.∗) files store data files during transfers to remote systems.  After a Data (D.∗) file is transferred to a remote system by the uucico daemon, the uucp program places it in a subdirectory of the uucp spooling directory named /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName, where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is transmitting the file.  The uucp program creates a temporary data file to hold the original data file. 

The full pathname of the temporary data file is in the following format:

/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000

where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is sending the file, and TM.xxPID.000 is the name of the file; for example, TM.00451.000.  The PID variable is the process ID of the job.
