NAME

xferlog - FlexFAX facsimile transfer log  

DESCRIPTION

The file etc/xferlog contains information about the transmission and reception of facsimile for all facsimile modems on a machine. The file contains one line per transfer. Lines are fixed-format, tab-separated ASCII strings. Each record of a transmission is of the form:


      date SEND modem sender dest-number CSI sigrate format #pages time "reason"

while a reception record is of the form:


      date RECV modem fax TSI local-number sigrate format #pages time "reason"

where the fields are interpreted as:

date
The date and time of the transaction in the format MM/DD/YY HH:MM, where MM is the numeric month, DD the numeric day, YY the last two digits of the year, and HH:MM is the time in 24-hour format.
sender
The sender/receiver's electronic mailing address (receptions are always attributed to the ``fax'' user).
dest-number
The phone number dialed for outgoing calls.
TSI
The Transmitter Subscriber Identification string (as received) for incoming calls.
CSI
The Caller Subscriber Identification string of the remote machine (as reported) for outgoing calls.
local-number
The local phone number on which the data was received.
sigrate
The negotiatated signalling rate used for transferring data.
format
The negotiated data format used for transferring data.
#pages
The total number of pages transferred.
time
The duration of the session in the format HH:MM:SS.
reason
A string that indicates if any problem occured during the session.

Note that fields may have embedded blanks. The signalling rate is given in bits per second. The format is one of: ``1-D MR'', ``2-D MR'', ``2-D Uncompressed Mode'' (2-D MR with optional uncompressed data), and, ``2-D MMR''. The page counts are always integral numbers. Partial pages that are to be retransmitted are not included in the page count.

The simple ASCII format was designed to be easy to process with programs like nawk(1).  

BUGS

The date format will ``break'' in the year 2000.
