source-file...destination
uupick
[

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION
uuto
uuto
sends
source-file
to
destination.
uuto
uses the
uucp.1c
facility to send files,
while it allows the local system to control the file access.
A source-file name is a path name on your machine.
Destination has the form:
system[!system] ... !user
where
system
is taken from a list of system names
that
uucp
knows about.
User
is the login name
of someone on the specified system.
The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to
PUBDIR
on
system,
where
PUBDIR
is a public directory defined in the
uucp
source.
By default, this directory is /var/spool/uucppublic.
Specifically the files are sent to
-
PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.
The recipient is notified by
mail.1
of the arrival of files.
uupick
uupick
accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the user.
Specifically,
uupick
searches
PUBDIR
for files destined for the user.
For each entry (file or directory) found,
the following message is printed on standard output:
-
from system sysname: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?
uupick
then reads a line from standard input to determine the
disposition of the file:
- <new-line>
-
Go to next entry.
- d
-
Delete the entry.
- m [ dir ]
-
Move the entry to named directory
dir.
If
dir
is not specified as a complete path name (in which
$HOME
is legitimate), a destination relative to the current directory is
assumed. If no destination is given, the default is the current
directory.
- a [ dir ]
-
Same as m above, except it moves all the files sent from
system.
- p
-
Print the content of the file.
- q
-
Stop.
- EOT (control-d)
-
Same as
q.
- !command
-
Escape to the shell to do
command.
- *
-
Print a command summary.
