_f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y is the _H_y_l_a_F_A_X server program that listens for
incoming phone calls and either handles each call directly
or hands it off to an appropriate program. In addition
_f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y monitors modem usage and notifies the _H_y_l_a_F_A_X
scheduler process when a modem's status changes; e.g. when
a modem is busy with an outbound call.
One _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y should be run for each facsimile modem on a
machine. _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y is typically started by _i_n_i_t(${MAN
NUM1_8}). _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y can also be used with data-only
modems; this may be desirable if some of the non-facsimile
features are important, such as the support for screening
calls according to Caller-ID information.
_f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y listens to its facsimile modem for incoming calls
and to a FIFO special file on which it accepts command
directives from administrative commands such as _f_a_x_a_n_
_s_w_e_r(${MANNUM1_8}) and _f_a_x_a_b_o_r_t(${MANNUM1_8}). _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y
also catches SIGTERM and SIGINT signals; cleaning up any
necessary resources before exiting.
Many aspects of _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y operation are controlled through
a configuration file. In particular, for _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y to
automatically invoke the _g_e_t_t_y(${MANNUM1_8}) program to
handle incoming data connections the GGeettttyyAArrggss parameter
must be setup in the configuration file. The configura
tion file is located in the spooler hierarchy in the eettcc
subdirectory and is named ccoonnffiigg.._d_e_v_i_d,, where _d_e_v_i_d is an
identifier derived from the name of the modem's device
file; for example _t_t_y_m_2 for _/_d_e_v_/_t_t_y_m_2, _t_e_r_m___1_0 for
_/_d_e_v_/_t_e_r_m_/_1_0. Consult _h_y_l_a_f_a_x_-_c_o_n_f_i_g(${MANNUM4_5}) for
detailed information on the contents of configuration
files.

--DD This option forces _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y to detach itself
from the controlling tty from which it was
invoked. In normal operation _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y will nnoott
dissassociate itself from the controlling tty.
--pp Do not change the process priority when receiv
ing facsimile. Normally _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y will raise its
priority to reduce i/o latency. This option is
useful for debugging.
--qq _d_i_r The specified directory is treated as the spool
ing area. The default spooling area, _$_{_S_P_O_O_L_},
is defined at the time the software is built.

cussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
