NAME
       Temporary - Stores data files during transfers to remote systems

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000

DESCRIPTION
       The  uucp  Temporary  (TM.*) files store data files during transfers to remote systems.	After a Data (D.*) file is transferred to a remote
       system by the uucico daemon, the uucp program places it in a subdirectory of the uucp spooling directory named  /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName,
       where  the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is transmitting the file.  The uucp program creates a temporary data file to
       hold the original data file.

       The full pathname of the temporary data file is in the following format: /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/TM.xxPID.000

       where the SystemName directory is named for the computer that is sending the file, and TM.xxPID.000 is the name of the file;  for  example,
       TM.00451.000.  The PID variable is the process ID of the job.
