DESCRIPTION
Faxd
is the central processing agent of the
FlexFAX
facsimile service.
One
faxd
process is started for each facsimile modem on a machine,
typically by
init(1M).
Faxd
listens to its facsimile modem for phone calls
and to two
FIFO
files on which it accepts command directives.
OPTIONS
The
-m
option must be used to specify the terminal device that the
facsimile modem is attached to.
The
-q
option can be used to specify a spooling area in which
to operate other than
${SPOOL}.
The
-i
option can be used to specify the interval, in seconds,
that a job should be held between transmission attempts.
By default, this interval is 15*60 seconds (i.e. 15 minutes).
The
-g
option can be used to indicate that
faxd
should act like the
getty(1M)
program if it receives a phone call from a data modem.
The
getty-speed
parameter is a label to a speed and tty definitions file;
see the
getty
manual page for details.
If this option is not specified and the server is not
configured to support incoming data connections,
incoming data connections will be rejected.
The
-d
stops
faxd
from detaching itself from the terminal; this is useful
for debugging.
The
-1
option causes
faxd
to generate only 1D-encoded facsimile when sending.
FILES
Consult
intro(4F)
for a complete discussion of the structure and
content of the spooling area.
BUGS
There is no way to abort an incoming facsimile.
The queue manager desparately needs a rewrite.
