Status Directory
----------------
`.Status'
This directory holds status files for each remote system. The
name of the status file is the name of the system which it
describes. Each status file describes the last conversation with
the system. Running `uustat --status' basically just formats and
prints the contents of the status files (see uustat Examples.).
Each status file has a single text line with six fields.
code
A code indicating the status of the last conversation. The
following values are defined, though not all are actually
used.
`0'
Conversation completed normally.
`1'
`uucico' was unable to open the port.
`2'
The last call to the system failed while dailing.
`3'
The last call to the system failed while logging in.
`4'
The last call to the system failed during the initial
UUCP protocol handshake (see The Initial Handshake.).
`5'
The last call to the system failed after the initial
handshake.
`6'
`uucico' is currently talking to the system.
`7'
The last call to the system failed because it was the
wrong time to call (this is not used if calling the
system is never permitted).
retries
The number of retries since the last successful call.
time of last call
The time of the last call, in seconds since the epoch (as
returned by the `time' system call).
wait
If the last call failed, this is the number of seconds since
the last call before `uucico' may attempt another call. This
is set based on the retry time; see See When to Call.
The `-f' or `-S' options to `uucico' direct it to ignore this
wait time; see See Invoking uucico.
description
A text description of the status, corresponding to the code
in the first field. This may contain spaces.
system name
The name of the remote system.
