.TH uuconv 1 "Taylor UUCP 1.06"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
uuconv \- convert UUCP configuration files
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B uuconv
|
|
\-i type \-o type [-p program] [standard UUCP options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B uuconv
|
|
program can be used to convert UUCP configuration
|
|
files from one format to another. This can be useful for
|
|
administrators converting from an older UUCP package. Taylor UUCP
|
|
is able to read and use old configuration file formats, but some
|
|
new features can not be selected using the old formats.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The type of configuration file to read is specified
|
|
using the `-i' or `--input' options. The type of configuration file to
|
|
write is specified using the `-o' or `--output' options.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The supported configuration file types are `taylor', `v2', and
|
|
`hdb'. For a description of the `taylor' configuration files, see
|
|
*Note Configuration Files::. The other types of configuration files
|
|
are used by traditional UUCP packages, and are not described in this
|
|
manual.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An input configuration of type `v2' or `hdb' is read from a compiled
|
|
in directory (specified by `oldconfigdir' in `Makefile'). An input
|
|
configuration of type `taylor' is read from a compiled in directory by
|
|
default, but may be overridden with the standard `-I' or `--config'
|
|
options.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The output configuration is written to files in the directory in
|
|
which
|
|
.B uuconv
|
|
is run.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Some information in the input files may not be representable in the
|
|
desired output format, in which case
|
|
.B uuconv
|
|
will silently discard it.
|
|
The output of
|
|
.B uuconv
|
|
should be carefully checked before it is used.
|
|
The
|
|
.B uuchk(8)
|
|
program may be used for this purpose.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The `-p' or `--program' option may be used to convert specific `cu'
|
|
configuration information, rather than the default of only converting
|
|
the `uucp' configuration information.
