      NAME
           uucp - unix to unix copy

      SYNTAX
           uucp [ option ] ...  source-file ...  destination-file

      DESCRIPTION
           Uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the
           destination-file argument.  A file name may be a path name
           on your machine, or may have the form

                system-name!pathname

           where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names
           which uucp knows about.  Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing
           in the pathname part will be expanded on the appropriate
           system.

           Pathnames may be one of

           (1)  a full pathname;

           (2)  a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on
                the specified system and is replaced by that user's
                login directory;

           (3)  anything else is prefixed by the current directory.

           If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system
           the copy will fail.  If the destination-file is a directory,
           the last part of the source-file name is used.

           Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission
           and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).

           The following options are interpreted by uucp.

           -d   Make all necessary directories for the file copy.

           -c   Use the source file when copying out rather than
                copying the file to the spool directory.

           -m   Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.

      FILES
           /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
           /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files

      NOTE
           The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious
           security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted.
           You will very likely not be able to fetch files by pathname;
           ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them
           to you.  For the same reasons you will probably not be able
           to send files to arbitrary pathnames.

      BUGS
           All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
           The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a
           single file.  (Receiving multiple files specified by special
           shell characters ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
