NAME
nfxmit, nfrcv - notesfile networking programs
SYNOPSIS
nfxmit -dsite [ -r ] [ -a ] [ -i ] [ -t date-spec ] [ -f
file ] topic [ ... ]
nfrcv topic fromsystem
DESCRIPTION
Nfxmit and nfrcv implement networking of notesfiles. The
nfxmit program packages eligible new articles and sends them
to a remote system. Nfrcv is the receiving end of this
team.
Nfxmit sends the specified notesfiles to the site specified
with the -d option. The -r option specifies that a request
should be queued for the remote site to transmit updates
from its copies of the notesfiles sent. The -r option is
used only if the other site does not automatically queue
updates of the notesfile.
Specify -a to have articles which originated in news(1)
sent. News(1)-originated articles will usually reach each
system via the news program.
The -i option indicates that nfxmit is to send articles to
the destination that it normally would not send. These
articles are those that were written there or were received
at the local site from that particular site. The -i option
is separate from the timestamp functions. Articles are
first selected on the basis of the time received and
criteria for having passed through news or the destination
system are applied later.
A timestamp of the last transmission of each notesfile to
each system is maintained. This is used for determining the
notes to send. If a different timestamp is desired, use the
-t option. The supplied timestamp is used for this transfer
and the stored timestamp is updated.
Specify -f myfile on the command line to have nfxmit read
myfile for a list of notesfiles to be sent. This is useful
if the number of notesfiles is too numerous to list on a
single command line. The shell meta-characters *, ?, [, and
] are recognized in both the topic parameter and the entries
in myfile.
Nfxmit uses uux(I) to invoke nfrcv on the remote system in
order to process the incoming notes. Non-uucp connections
are supported and specified in the file
/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.how
