z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

uucp
Options
v A pathname preceded by ~/, where ~/is replaced on the specified site with the
name of the public UUCP directory.
v A filename or prefix name containing the current directory on your machine as a
prefix.
Destination pathnames cannot begin with exactly two slashes, which indicate an
MVS filename.
If the target is a directory, you must append / to the end of the pathname to ensure
that it is not treated as a file. If the / is not appended to a directory name, then the
name is treated as a filename and multiple copies to that command will behave like
the cp command. That is, each subsequent copy will overlay the previous one.
Pathnames can contain the shell metacharacters ?, *, and [ ]. The character ~ also
has a special meaning, as previously described. The appropriate site expands these
characters after encountering them.If the destination file is a multihop name, then
the source file cannot contain shell metacharacters because uucp uses uux to
handle multihop requests, and uux does not allow shell metacharacters in names.
Be careful when using metacharacters, because expansions on other sites may
occur in unforeseen ways. For more information on metacharacters and their
expansion by the shell, see sh.
–C Copies named files to the spool directory for transfer. If both this option and
the –c option are given, this option takes precedence. This option is useful
if you will be making changes to the file after running the uucp command
and want to send the version of the file before you changed it.
–c Does not copy files to the spool directory for transfer. This is the default.
–d Makes all necessary intermediate directories to complete file transfer. This
is the default.
–f Does not make intermediate directories. If –f is specified with the –d option,
–f takes precedence.
–g grade
Sets the priority of this job to grade. It is a number (0–9) or letter (A–Z, a–z),
where 0 is the highest priority and z is the lowest.
–j Passes the UUCP job ID number to standard output; this job ID can be
used with uustat to determine the job’s status or to terminate it. If uucp
generates several job requests and several job IDs, only the last one
appears.
–m Sends mail notifying you when the copy has completed. The default is to
send mail only if an error occurs that prevents the copy from being made.
–n user
Notifies the user at the destination site when a file you have sent to the
destination site has arrived. This option has no effect when you use uucp
to get files from the remote system.
–r Queues the job to be processed later. Do not start uucico to begin
transferring the file.
–x debug_level
Sets the verbosity of the debugging information to the specified debug level,
which is a number, 0 or greater. Level 0 provides tersed messages while
