uuconv(1)                                                                                          uuconv(1)



NAME
       uuconv - convert UUCP configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       uuconv -i type -o type [-p program] [--program program]

       uuconv --input type --output type [-p program] [--program program]

DESCRIPTION
       The  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 for-mats. formats.
       mats.

       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.

       The supported configuration file types are taylor, v2, and hdb.  For a description of the taylor con-figuration configuration
       figuration files, use the info command and see "*Note Configuration Files::"  for  uucp.   The  other
       types  of  configuration  files  are used by traditional UUCP packages, and are not described in this
       manual.

       An input configuration of type taylor is read  from  a compiled in directory by default.

       The output configuration is written to files in the directory in which uuconv is run.

       Some information in the input files may not be representable in the desired output format,  in  which
       case  uuconv will silently discard it.  The output of uuconv should be carefully checked before it is
       used.  The uuchk(8) program may be used for this purpose.

       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.

OPTIONS
       -i, --input
            Set input type (one of taylor, v2, hdb)

       -o, --output
            Set output type (one of taylor, v2, hdb)

       -p, --program
            Program to convert (e.g., uucp or cu)


              Standard UUCP options:
              -v, --version Report version information and exit.

       --help
            Print a help message and exit.
