NAME
       uupick - Accepts or rejects files transmitted to a user by uuto

SYNOPSIS
       uupick [-ssystem]

       The uupick command accepts or rejects files that the uuto command has transmitted to a designated user ID.

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       uupick:	XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS
       Searches  /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system  only  for  files  sent from the specified system. System names must contain only ASCII
       characters.

DESCRIPTION
       When the files have arrived, the rmail command notifies the recipient, who then issues the uupick command to receive and handle the files.

       Specifically, uupick searches the public directory on the local system for files with some form of the following name:

       /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system/file

       where user is the user ID of the user issuing the command.

       For each entry (file or directory) found, uupick displays the following message: from system: [file file] [dir directory] ?

       The uupick command then waits for a response from standard input to determine the disposition of the file or directory.	Issuing the uupick
       command with the appropriate file-handling option completes the transfer.

   File-Handling Options
       After  notifying  the user that a file was sent from system, uupick displays a ?  (question mark), prompting for one of the following file-
       handling options: Displays all file-handling options.  Moves on to the next entry in the receive directory.  Moves all uuto files currently
       in the receive directory into a specified directory on the local system.  The default is the current working directory.	Use a full or rel-
       ative pathname to specify a different directory.  Deletes the specified file.  Moves the specified  file  to  a	specified  directory.	If
       directory  is not specified as a complete pathname, a destination relative to the current directory is assumed.	If directory is not speci-
       fied at all, the default is the current working directory on the local system.  Displays the contents of the file on the  terminal  screen.
       Stops  processing  and  exits  from  uupick.   Same as q.  Escapes to a shell to run the specified command.  After the command executes, it
       returns automatically to uupick so you can continue to handle the uuto files in the receive directory.
