uupick [–s system]
Note: The uupick utility is fully supported for compatibility with older UNIX
systems. However, because it is no longer supported by POSIX.2 IEEE
standard 1003.2-1992, this utility should be avoided for applications intended
to be portable to other UNIX- branded systems.
uupick is an interactive shell script used to manage files in the UUCP public
receive directory that were sent to you using the uuto command. Only those files in
the receive directory are managed. (See “Files” on page 748 for a description of
this directory.)
For each file or directory entry found, uupick prompts you with one of the following
messages, depending on the type of the entry:
from system: file name ?
from system: dir name ?
where system is the name of the system that sent the file or directory, and name is
the name of the file or directory.
To tell uupick how to handle an entry, issue one of the following commands:
ENTER
Skips this entry and go to the next one.
* Display the uupick command summary.
d Deletes the specified entry.
m [target]
Moves the entry to the named target directory or file. If the target does not
specify an absolute pathname or no directory, the pathname is assumed to
be relative to the current directory. If no directory is given, uupick assumes
the current directory.
a [dir] Moves all files from system to the target directory dir.
p Prints the contents of the entry to standard output. If the entry is a directory,
p lists the files in the directory.
q Quits uupick.
CTRL-D
Quits uupick.
!command
Escapes to the shell in order to perform command.
The tilde (~) does not stand for the public UUCP directory in pathnames specified
inside uupick. It is interpreted by the command shell being used.
–s system
Displays only files from the system system.
