NAME

       uupath, mkuupath - access and manage the pathalias database

SYNOPSIS

       pathsfile] mailaddress

       pathsfile

DESCRIPTION

       The commands, including and are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the below.

       provides electronic message routing by expanding a simple UUCP address into a full UUCP path (see uucp(1)).  For example, could be expanded
       into

       expands an address by parsing mailaddress for the dominant host (see below) and looking up  the	host  in  the  appropriate  database  (see
       pathalias(1)).	If  the  host is found in the database, the expanded address is written to the standard output.  If the host is not found,
       writes the original address to the standard output and returns an exit status of 1.  expects mailaddress  to  be  in  UUCP  format  (hostor
       ARPANET format (user@host).

       The option opens the database based on pathsfile rather than the default database based on This database must be a database created by con-
       sisting of the two files and

       The dominant host is the left-most UUCP host in mailaddress.  If no UUCP host is found (no is in the address), assumes that the address	is
       in  the	simple	ARPANET format user@host.  If the address does not match either format, writes the original address to the standard output
       and returns an exit status of 1.

       constructs a mail routing database by using the pathsfile data file obtained from (see pathalias(1)).  as input.  The recommended pathsfile
       location  is  because this is the default database used by The database files and are created by If these files already exist, they must be
       removed prior to running

       The option specifies verbose mode, which writes a line to the standard output for each entry written to the database.

DIAGNOSTICS

       returns an exit status of 1 and writes the original mailaddress to the standard output if the address is not found or is  incorrectly  for-
       matted.	 returns  an  exit status of 2 and prints a diagnostic message if the database files are not accessible, or if improper parameters
       are given.  Otherwise, returns an exit status of 0.

       If the database files and already exist prior to running the message is displayed.  These files must be removed before running

WARNINGS

       Use of commands, including and is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from HP-UX.	Use ftp(1) or rcp(1) instead.
