Standard Options
================
All of the UUCP programs support a few standard options.
`-x type'
`--debug type'
Turn on particular debugging types. The following types are
recognized: `abnormal', `chat', `handshake', `uucp-proto',
`proto', `port', `config', `spooldir', `execute', `incoming',
`outgoing'. Not all types of debugging are effective for all
programs. See the `debug' configuration command for details
(see Debugging Levels.).
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the `--debug'
option may appear multiple times. A number may also be given,
which will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for
example, `--debug 2' is equivalent to `--debug abnormal,chat'. To
turn on all types of debugging, use `-x all'.
The `uulog' program uses `-X' rather than `-x' to select the
debugging type; for `uulog', `-x' has a different meaning, for
reasons of historical compatibility.
`-I file'
`--config file'
Set the main configuration file to use. See config File.
When this option is used, the programs will revoke any setuid
privileges.
`-v'
`--version'
Report version information and exit.
`--help'
Print a help message and exit.
