- .ss uucico.exe
-
- This program implements a standard 'g' protocol transfer mechanism.
-
- Usage: uucico [-s system]
- [-x debug]
- [-p]
- [-h]
- [-ln]
- [-z]
- [-v]
- [-a]
- [-f filename]
-
- The site specified with "-s" must be in the systems file.
-
- --> The -s argument is MANDATORY. All others are optional.
-
- The "-x" option allows for specifying a debug level from 1 to 9. These
- debug levels provide different amounts of information necessary for
- debugging a connection. (i.e. 1 provides the least information, 9 the
- most. A rather gluttonous amount, really). Once a connection is stable,
- debug level 3 or 4 is usually sufficient. Omitting this option will
- default uucico to a debug level of 3.
-
- Debug information can be dumped to the printer in addition to being
- displayed on the screen by using the "-p" option. Note that with a high
- debug level, a large amount of information will be created, and may cause
- performance degradation if the printer being used has a small buffer. It
- may even hang UUCICO. Nobody here is brave enough to try debug levels
- greater than 5 with the -p option.
-
- "-v" will print the current version number of FSUUCP.
-
- "-a" will run uucico in "automatic" mode, not prompting the user at
- any time.
-
- The "-h" option tells uucico to ignore the host name sent by the remote
- machine. It has the same effect as the "ignorehost on" option in the
- FSUUCP.CFG file. If -h is used, the ignorehost command in the FSUUCP.CFG
- file will be ignored.
-
- The "-l" option allows the maximum length (number of characters) of the
- sitename to be specified when calling a remote system. This switch is
- intended to provide compatibility with systems that do not follow the UUCP
- standard of a maximum of 8 characters in a sitename. The value specified
- here will override any value set in the FSUUCP.CFG file.
-
- The "-f" option allows debug information to be diverted to a file.
-
- The "-z" option is a dirty hack to strip NULL characters that follow
- returns. You should never need it. If you do, see the administrator
- of the site that you are calling about getting the uucico connection
- working in RAW mode.
-
- UUCICO will return an integer exit code readable by a calling program,
- or via the ERRORLEVEL variable in a batch file. The codes are:
-
- 0 - Poll completed OK
- 1 - Error reading FSUUCP.CFG configuration
- 2 - Error in command line parametres
- 3 - Unknown site specified with -s option
- 4 - Error initializing modem
- 5 - Did not receive connection to remote site
- 6 - Error starting up protocol
- 7 - Error during procotol transfer
-
- All error codes 1 through 6 indicate that something is wrong with the
- setup or configuration on either the FSUUCP or remote host side. Error
- level 7 indicates that there was some problem during transmission, and
- a retry will usually continue where the error left off.
