NAME
UUCico
SYNOPSIS
UUCico -D[EVICE] device -U[NIT] unit -Getty -w -r1 -xn -o -[s/S]system -e
DESCRIPTION
UUCico is the basis for UUCP. It can be run either from a
GETTY when somebody logs into the Amiga, or it can be run
from DCRON or manually to originate connections.
Some options to UUCico are now outdated and should not be
used. Specifically, earlier distributions did not have a
GETTY and UUCICO had to deal with waiting for connections
itself.
Either way, the final result is a connection between your
machine and some remote machine. UUCICO will retrieve any
queued work on the remote machine and send any queued work on
your machine. These work files are located in UUCP:SPOOL.
The term 'work' refers to items queued by other programs,
such as PNEWS and MAIL. These programs create files in
UUCP:SPOOL that inform UUCICO what to do with them and where
to send them to. On the flip side, when UUCICO receives a
work file it will write it to UUCP:SPOOL then run UUXQT.
UUXQT scans received files and determines how to break them
up (for example, append them to the appropriate mail box or
news directory). The control files in UUCP:SPOOL contain a
line indicating the appropriate program required to unpack
the files. UUXQT reads this line and runs the proper
unpacker (RMAIL, RNEWS, or CUNBATCH).
GENERAL OPTIONS
(*)'d Options are supplied automatically on Getty Initiated
connections
(*) -D devicename Default is serial.device
(*) -U unitnumber Default is 0
-xn Set log level
GETTY INITIATED OPTIONS
(*) -Getty Tells UUCICO that it was started from a Getty.
MANUAL POLL OPTIONS
-ssystem Poll (call-up) the specified system
-Ssystem Same as -s but ignore time restrictions
-r1 Call all systems we have pending work for
OBSOLETE OPTIONS (WAIT MODE OPTIONS) DO NOT USE IF YOU CAN HELP IT
-w Tells UUCICO to wait for one or more
connections (depending on -e) AFTER having
previously polled one or more systems
(-r, -s, -S).
-o Tells UUCICO to not search for a CONNECT
message when carrier is detected (hardwired
configuration)
-e Tells UUCICO to loop forever waiting for
connections.
-n FORCE WINDOW SIZE IN G PROTOCOL TO 1.
Normally arbitrates 1 or 2.
<nooptions> If UUCICO is run without either -Getty,
-s, or -r, it will wait for a single
connection.
