uupick(1)
NAME
  uupick - Accepts or rejects files transmitted to a user by uuto

SYNOPSIS
  uupick [-ssystem]

  The uupick command accepts or rejects files that the uuto command has
  transmitted to a designated user ID.

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  uupick:  XCU5.0

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS
  -ssystem
      Searches /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system only for files sent
      from the specified system. System names must contain only ASCII
      characters.

DESCRIPTION
  When the files have arrived, the rmail command notifies the recipient, who
  then issues the uupick command to receive and handle the files.

  Specifically, uupick searches the public directory on the local system for
  files with some form of the following name:

       /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system/file

  where user is the user ID of the user issuing the command.

  For each entry (file or directory) found, uupick displays the following
  message:

       from system: [file file] [dir directory]
       ?

  The uupick command then waits for a response from standard input to
  determine the disposition of the file or directory.  Issuing the uupick
  command with the appropriate file-handling option completes the transfer.

  File-Handling Options

  After notifying the user that a file was sent from system, uupick displays
  a ? (question mark), prompting for one of the following file-handling
  options:

  *   Displays all file-handling options.

  <Return>
      Moves on to the next entry in the receive directory.

  a [directory]
      Moves all uuto files currently in the receive directory into a
      specified directory on the local system.	The default is the current
      working directory.  Use a full or relative pathname to specify a
      different directory.

  d   Deletes the specified file.

  m [directory]
      Moves the specified file to a specified directory.  If directory is not
      specified as a complete pathname, a destination relative to the current
      directory is assumed.  If directory is not specified at all, the
      default is the current working directory on the local system.

  p   Displays the contents of the file on the terminal screen.

  q   Stops processing and exits from uupick.

  End-of-File
      Same as q.

  !command
      Escapes to a shell to run the specified command.	After the command
      executes, it returns automatically to uupick so you can continue to
      handle the uuto files in the receive directory.

NOTES
  The uupick utility is marked LEGACY in XCU Issue 5.

EXAMPLES

       ?
