NAME

       biff - give notice of incoming mail messages

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/biff [y | n]

DESCRIPTION

       biff  turns  mail notification on or off for the terminal session. With no arguments, biff displays the current notification status for the
       terminal.

       operates asynchronously. For synchronized notices, use the MAIL variable of sh(1) or the mail variable of csh(1).

       A `biff y' command can be included in your ~/.login or ~/.profile file for execution when you log in.

OPTIONS

       y	       Allow mail notification for the terminal.

       n	       Disable notification for the terminal.

FILES

       ~/.login 	       User's login file
