NAME
Data - Contains data to be sent to remote systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/LocalSystemName/D.SystemNamexxxx###
DESCRIPTION
Data (D.*) files contain the data to be sent to remote systems by the uucp uucico daemon. The full pathname of a data file is a form of
the following: /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName/D.SystemNamexxxx###
where the SystemName directory and the SystemName portion of the file name indicate the name of the remote system. The xxxx### notation is
the hexadecimal sequence number of the Command (C.*) file associated with that data file; for example, D.venus471afd8.
After a set period of time (specified by the uusched daemon), the uucico daemon transfers the data file to the designated system. It
places the original data file 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, and creates a Temporary (TM.*) file to hold the original data file.
After receiving the entire file, the uucp program takes one of three actions: If the file was sent with the uucp command and there were no
transfer problems, the program immediately renames the TM.* file with the appropriate data filename, such as D.venus471afd8, and sends it
to the specified destination. If the file was sent with the uuto command, the uucp program also renames the temporary data file with the
appropriate D.* filename. It then places the data file in the public directory /usr/spool/uucppublic, where the user receives the data
file and handles it with one of the uupick command options. If there were transfer problems (such as a failed login or an unavailable
device), the temporary data file remains in the spooling subdirectory. The uudemon.cleanu command, a shell script, removes these files
automatically at specified intervals, or they can be removed manually.
