- _f_a_x_q is the central queueing agent for _H_y_l_a_F_A_X. One (and
- only one) _f_a_x_q process is normally running at all times.
- _f_a_x_q is responsible for scheduling, preparing, and
- initiating outbound facsimile jobs (and potentially other
- types of jobs as well).
-
- _f_a_x_q may be run by itself to provide outbound-only services
- or it may be run together with one or more _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y(1M)
- processes, in which case inbound services (e.g. receiving
- facsimile) are provided. When _f_a_x_q is run by itself the set
- of available modems must be specified using the _f_a_x_m_o_d_e_m(1M)
- command. Each modem specified in this way is assumed to
- exist and to be capable of use as a facsimile modem. When
- _f_a_x_q is run in conjunction with _f_a_x_g_e_t_t_y processes, it is
- not necessary to use _f_a_x_m_o_d_e_m to specify modems; instead the
- programs communicate information about the status and
- capabilities of each modem. The latter setup provides a
- more robust and powerful system and is the intended way for
- the software to operate.
-
- _f_a_x_q receives notification of outbound jobs to process from
- the _h_f_a_x_d(1M) process that implements the server-side of the
- _H_y_l_a_F_A_X client-server protocol. Notification is through
- messages sent to a FIFO special file that _f_a_x_q listens to.
- This file is also used by other administrative programs such
- as _f_a_x_q_u_i_t(1M).
-
- Many aspects of _f_a_x_q operation may be controlled through a
- configuration file. This file is located in the spooler
- hierarchy in the eeeettttcccc subdirectory and is named ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg (as
- opposed to the per-modem configuration files named
- ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg...._d_e_v_i_d))));;;; consult _c_o_n_f_i_g(4F) for detailed information
- on this configuration file. Note that _f_a_x_q automatically
- re-reads its configuration file if it has been changed. It
- is also possible to dynamically change configuration
- parameters in a running process with the _f_a_x_c_o_n_f_i_g(1M)
- program. Beware however that parameters changed in this way
- will be reset to the values specified in the configuration
- file if the file is re-read.

- ----qqqq _d_i_r The specified directory is treated as the spooling
- area. The default spooling area,
- /_u_s_r/_f_r_e_e_w_a_r_e/_v_a_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_f_a_x, is defined at the
- time the software is built.

- ----DDDD This option forces _f_a_x_q to remain attached to the
- controlling tty from which it was invoked. In
- normal operation _f_a_x_q will _f_o_r_k(2) and
- dissassociate itself from the controlling tty.
- This option is useful for debugging.
