Name
       uucico - uucp file transfer daemon

Syntax
       /usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ -f ] [ -r1 ] [ -s system ] [ -x# ] [ -X# ]

Description
       The  program  is	 the daemon associated with the utility. The daemon is
       automatically run when requests are made	 or  when  polling  occurs  as
       specified in It performs the actual file transfer over the network. The
       program first calls up the destination system and login.	 After a  suc‐
       cessful	login,	a handshake takes place between the destination daemon
       process and the local daemon. The handshake determines if  each	daemon
       has  permission	to  use the other's local resources. Both daemons then
       select the protocol that will be used to send and receive raw data.

       The local daemon searches  the  spool  directories  for	job  requests,
       builds a list of files to transfer, then begins transmitting files. The
       file transfer protocol ensures that each file is transmitted only  once
       and  also  notifies the user if a file cannot be transferred. After the
       program transfers all the files, the destination site  transfers	 files
       back  to	 the local system. When both systems have completed their file
       transfers, the connection through the network is terminated.

       The output of follows the progress of the conversation. Debugging  out‐
       put  from the slave is placed in the file in the spool directory at the
       remote site. The output is less meaningful than the unless  the	source
       code is available to help interpret the messages.

Options
       -f    Forces  to	 start a conversation with a specified system, regard‐
	     less of any previous connection status as provided by  the	 files
	     (system status).

       -r1   Puts into the master role. The slave mode is the default.

       -s system
	     Designates the system to be contacted.

       -x#   Sets the debugging level. The number sign (#) can have a value of
	     0 to 9. The higher the number,  the  more	debugging  output.  No
	     packet level debugging is printed.

       -X#   Sets  packet level debugging output. The number sign (#) can have
	     a value of 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more	 packet	 level
	     debugging output.
