Communication Commands uucp(1C)
NAME
uucp, uulog, uuname - UNIX-to-UNIX system copy
SYNOPSIS
uucp [ -c | -C ] [ -d | -f ] [ -ggrade ] [ -jmr ] [
-nuser ] [ -sfile ] [ -xdebug_level ] source-file
destination-file
uulog [ -ssys ] [ -fsystem ] [ -x ] [ -number ] system
uuname [ -c | -l ]
DESCRIPTION
uucp
uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the
destination-file argument.
uulog
uulog queries a log file of uucp or uuxqt transactions in
file /var/uucp/.Log/uucico/system or
/var/uucp/.Log/uuxqt/system.
uuname
uuname lists the names of systems known to uucp.
OPTIONS
uucp
The following options are supported by uucp:
-c Do not copy local file to the spool directory for
transfer to the remote machine (default).
-C Force the copy of local files to the spool directory
for transfer.
-d Make all necessary directories for the file copy
(default).
-f Do not make intermediate directories for the file
copy.
-ggrade
grade can be either a single letter, number, or a
string of alphanumeric characters defining a service
grade. The uuglist command can determine whether it is
appropriate to use the single letter, number, or a
string of alphanumeric characters as a service grade.
The output from the uuglist command will be a list of
service grades that are available, or a message that
says to use a single letter or number as a grade of
service.

Communication Commands uucp(1C)
-j Print the uucp job identification string on standard
output. This job identification can be used by uustat
to obtain the status of a uucp job or to terminate a
uucp job. The uucp job is valid as long as the job
remains queued on the local system.
-m Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.
-nuser
Notify user on the remote system that a file was sent.
-r Do not start the file transfer, just queue the job.
-sfile
Report status of the transfer to file. This option is
accepted for compatibility, but it is ignored because
it is insecure.
-xdebug_level
Produce debugging output on standard output.
debug_level is a number between 0 and 9; as it
increases to 9, more detailed debugging information is
given. This option may not be available on all sys-
tems.
uulog
The following options cause uulog to print logging informa-
tion:
-ssys Print information about file transfer work involving
system sys.
-fsystem
Do a "tail -f" of the file transfer log for system.
(You must hit BREAK to exit this function.)
Other options used in conjunction with the above options
are:
-x Look in the uuxqt log file for the given system.
-number
Execute a tail command of number lines.
uuname
The following options are supported by uuname:
-c Display the names of systems known to cu. The two
lists are the same, unless your machine is using dif-
ferent Systems files for cu and uucp. See the Sysfiles
file.

Communication Commands uucp(1C)
-l Display the local system name.
OPERANDS
The source file name may be a path name on your machine, or
may have the form:
system-name!pathname
where system-name is taken from a list of system names that
uucp knows about. source_file is restricted to no more than
one system-name. The destination system-name may also
include a list of system names such as
system-name!system-name!...!system-name!pathname
In this case, an attempt is made to send the file, using the
specified route, to the destination. Care should be taken to
ensure that intermediate nodes in the route are willing to
forward information (see NOTES below for restrictions).
For C-Shell users, the ``!'' character must be surrounded by
single quotes ('), or preceded by a backslash (\).
The shell metacharacters ?, * and [...] appearing in path-
name will be expanded on the appropriate system.
Pathnames may be one of the following:
(1) An absolute pathname.
(2) A pathname preceded by ~user where user is a login
name on the specified system and is replaced by that
user's login directory.
(3) A pathname preceded by ~/destination where destination
is appended to /var/spool/uucppublic. (Note: This
destination will be treated as a filename unless more
than one file is being transferred by this request or
the destination is already a directory. To ensure that
the destination is a directory, follow it with a '/'.
For example ~/dan/ as the destination will make the
directory /var/spool/uucppublic/dan if it does not
exist and put the requested file(s) in that direc-
tory).
Anything else is prefixed by the current directory.
If the result is an erroneous path name for the remote sys-
tem, the copy will fail. If the destination-file is a direc-
tory, the last part of the source-file name is used.

Communication Commands uucp(1C)
Invoking uucp with shell wildcard characters as the remote
source-file invokes the uux(1C) command to execute the uucp
command on the remote machine. The remote uucp command
spools the files on the remote machine.
After the first session terminates, if the remote machine
is configured to transfer the spooled files to the local
machine, the remote machine will initiate a call and send
the files; otherwise, the user must "call" the remote
machine to transfer the files from the spool directory to
the local machine. This call can be done manually using
Uutry(1M), or as a side effect of another uux(1C) or uucp
call.
Note that the local machine must have permission to execute
the uucp command on the remote machine in order for the
remote machine to send the spooled files.
uucp removes execute permissions across the transmission and
gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
variables that affect the execution of uucp: LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, TZ, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
/etc/uucp/*
other data files
/var/spool/uucp
spool directories
/usr/lib/uucp/*
other program files
/var/spool/uucppublic/*
public directory for receiving and sending
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attri-
butes:

NOTES
For security reasons, the domain of remotely accessible
files may be severely restricted. You will probably not be
able to access files by path name; ask a responsible person
on the remote system to send them to you. For the same rea-
sons you will probably not be able to send files to arbi-
trary path names. As distributed, the remotely accessible
files are those whose names begin /var/spool/uucppublic
(equivalent to ~/).
All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
The -m option will only work when sending files or receiving
a single file. Receiving multiple files specified by special
shell characters ?, &, and [...] will not activate the -m
option.
The forwarding of files through other systems may not be
compatible with the previous version of uucp. If forwarding
is used, all systems in the route must have compatible ver-
sions of uucp.
Protected files and files that are in protected directories
that are owned by the requester can be sent by uucp. How-
ever, if the requester is root, and the directory is not
searchable by "other" or the file is not readable by
"other", the request will fail.
Strings that are passed to remote systems may not be
evaluated in the same locale as the one in use by the pro-
cess that invoked uucp on the local system.
Configuration files must be treated as C (or POSIX) locale
text files.
