NAME

       uusnaps - sort and embellish uusnap output

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

       runs  (see  uusnap(1M))	and  post-processes  the output into a more useful form.  It sorts output lines in ``Pareto-style'', showing first
       those remote systems with the greatest number of files, next files, and then files.

       inserts a after the number of files on those lines where is not equal to (2 x + This may be a  sign  of	missing  or  orphaned  transaction
       parts.  Use to check (see uuls(1)).

       adds  summary information after all output.  The first line is a total of the numbers of and files.  The second line contains a grand total
       number of transaction files, followed by the number of directory bytes this represents.	This is an indication of  the  true  size  of  the
       directory  itself  if  all  empty  entries  were squeezed out.  Finally, if it appears that transaction files might be missing or orphaned,
       returns the number of missing or excess files.

WARNINGS

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

       assumes that each directory entry takes 24 bytes.
