Invoking uuconv
===============

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

   The `uuconv' program converts UUCP configuration files from one
format to another.  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' configuration files, see
See Configuration Files.  The other types of configuration files
are used by traditional UUCP packages, and are not described in this
manual.

   An input configuration of type `v2' or `hdb' is read from a compiled
in directory (specified by `oldconfigdir' in `Makefile').  An input
configuration of type `taylor' is read from a compiled in directory by
default, but may be overridden with the standard `-I' or `--config'
options (see Standard Options.).

   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' program may be used for this purpose; see *Note Invoking
uuchk::.

   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; see See config File.

   The `uuchk' program also supports the standard UUCP program options;
see See Standard Options.
