25.2.2 UUCP Channel Option File

An option file may be used to control characteristics of a UUCP channel. Such an option file must be named x_option, where x is the name of the channel, and stored in the PMDF table directory.

25.2.2.1 Format of the Option File

Option files consist of several lines. Each line contains the setting for one option. An option setting has the form:


option=value
value may be either a string or an integer, depending on the option's requirements. If the option accepts an integer value a base may be specified using notation of the form b%v, where b is the base expressed in base 10 and v is the actual value expressed in base b.

25.2.2.2 Available Options

UUCP channels have the following option:

COMMAND_FLAGS (string)

This option may be used to specify command flags to be passed to the uux invocation command, e.g.,


COMMAND_FLAGS=-gC 
Multiple flags may be specified, separated with spaces.
