- Syntax: fax <fax-number> <archive | path-to-archive> <file> [/password] [parts]
- Have the specified file from the specified archive faxed to the
- specified number. The file may have been split into parts because some
- mailers cannot send large files, and in this case you will receive as
- many faxes as the number of parts the file has been split into. Make
- sure you do not request binary files or tar files as they will be
- uuencoded first and will be probably totally useless on paper.
-
- If certain parts are specified, then only these parts (if they exist)
- will be faxed. The parts are specified as numbers separated by spaces.
- You may not specify ranges of parts (e.g. 1-3).
-
- Certain archives may be private, in which case you have to specify
- a password (the slash is required) in order to obtain files from
- them. Different archives may have different passwords, but all files
- from the same archive may be obtained with the same password.
-
- Archives may have the same names; they can be distinguished by the
- path (the branch in the hierarchy) to them. For example, the archives
- unix and pub/unix are distinct. 'path-to-archive' is a UNIX style
- path (such as pub/unix) -- i.e. a '/' is used to move through the
- branches of the hierarchy. An 'index' request always reports paths
- to archives for your convinience.
-
- This request is honored only if received by email.
