Directories(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						    Directories(4)

NAME
Directories - Contains queued requests for file transfers and command executions on remote systems SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directories are the uucp program spooling directories on the local system. The uucp program creates a Sys- temName directory for each system listed in the /usr/adm/uucp/Systems file, including the local system. Each SystemName directory contains queued requests issued by local users for file transfers to remote systems and for command executions on remote systems. The uucp program uses several types of administrative files to transfer data between systems. These files are stored in the SystemName directories. They are: Contain directions for the uucico daemon concerning file transfers. Contain data to be sent to remote systems by the uucico daemon. Contain instructions for running commands on remote systems. Contain data files after their transfer to the remote system until the uucp program can deliver them to their final destinations (usually the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory). RELATED INFORMATION

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. FILES
Describes accessible remote systems Contains uucp command, data, and execute files Contain data to be transferred. Contain files that uucp has transferred RELATED INFORMATION
