(TO BE OBSOLETED)

In the S (send) case, if <subﬁle> is

D.0, <localfrom> is a ﬁle not in the spool directory, resulting from a

typical

uucp call without the -C

(copy) option. In this case <localfrom> is used for the transaction size,

if stat-able, and to print the

C-ﬁle meaning.

uucp -C and uux both set <subﬁle> to a true (spooled) subﬁle name.

Orphan ﬁles are those whose names start with

D. and which are not referenced by any control ﬁles.

This algorithm extracts from control ﬁles the names of all subﬁles that should exist in the spool directory

when the transaction is not being actively processed. It is not unusual to see "missing subﬁles" and

"orphans" if you

uuls a spool directory while uucico, uucp, uux,or uuxqt is active.

Meanings information is obtained by reading each

D*X*

subﬁle referenced by each C.* ﬁle, and by

reading

X*X* ﬁles. nodename !username is taken from the last line in the ﬁle which is of the form:

U <username> <nodename>

Likewise, commandline is taken from the last line of the form:

C <commandline>

If a subﬁle name is referenced more than once, references after the ﬁrst show the subﬁle as missing. If a

subﬁle name appears in a (corrupt) directory more than once, the name is only found once, but then it is

listed again under

Orphans.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_COLLATE determines the order in which the output is sorted.

LC_COLLATE is not speciﬁed in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of

LANG is

used as a default. If

LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty string, a default of ‘‘C’’ (see lang(5)) is

used instead of

LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,

uuls behaves as

if all internationalization variables are set to ‘‘C’’ (see environ (5)).

DIAGNOSTICS

The program writes an appropriate message to standard error if it has any problems dealing with a

speciﬁed ﬁle (directory), including failure to get heap space. It always returns zero as its exit value.

If a control ﬁle is unopenable (wrong permissions or it disappeared while

uuls was running), its name is

preceded by a ∗ and the size of the transaction is zero. If a subﬁle is missing (ﬁlename not found in the

directory being listed) or not stat-able (if required for -s or -k), its name is preceded by a

∗ and it con-

tributes zero bytes to the size of the transaction.

-m is speciﬁed and a D*X* ﬁle is missing or unreadable, its name is given with a

∗ preﬁxed, as

usual.

BUGS

This command uses chdir(2) to change to each directory in turn. If more than one is speciﬁed, the second

through last directories must be absolute (not relative) pathnames, or the

chdir() may fail.

WARNINGS

Use of

uucp commands, including uuls, is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from

HP-UX. Use ftp (1) or rcp(1) instead.
