NAME

       uucico - file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/uucico [-f] [-c type] [-d spool-directory] [-i interface] [-r role-number] [-s system-name] [-x debug-level]

DESCRIPTION

       uucico is the file transport program for uucp work file transfers.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -f                      This  option  is used to "force execution" of uucico by ignoring the limit on the maximum number of uucicos defined
                               in the /etc/uucp/Limits file.

       -c type                 The first field in the Devices file is the "Type" field.  The -c option forces uucico to only use  entries  in  the
                               "Type" field that match the user specified type. The specified type is usually the name of a local area network.

       -d spool-directory      This  option  specifies  the  directory  spool-directory  that contains the uucp work files to be transferred.  The
                               default spool directory is /var/spool/uucp.

       -i interface            This option defines the interface used with uucico. The interface only affects slave mode.   Known  interfaces  are
                               UNIX  (default),  TLI  (basic Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport Layer Interface with Streams modules,
                               read/write).

       -r role-number          The role-number 1 is used for master mode. role-number 0 is used for slave mode (default).  When uucico is  started
                               by a program or cron, role-number 1 should be used for master mode.

       -s system-name          The  -s  option  defines  the remote system (system-name) that uucico will try to contact.  It is required when the
                               role is master; system-name must be defined in the Systems file.

       -x debug-level          Both uux and uucp queue jobs that will be transferred by uucico. These jobs are normally  started  by  the  uusched
                               scheduler,  for  debugging  purposes,  and can be started manually. For example, the shell Uutry starts uucico with
                               debugging turned on. The debug-level is a number between 0 and 9.  Higher numbers  give  more   detailed  debugging
                               information.
