uupath, mkuupath - access and manage the pathalias database
SYNOPSIS
pathsfile] mailaddress
pathsfile
DESCRIPTION
The commands, including and are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see
the below.
provides electronic message routing by expanding a simple UUCP address
into a full UUCP path (see uucp(1)). For example, could be expanded
into
expands an address by parsing mailaddress for the dominant host (see
below) and looking up the host in the appropriate database (see
pathalias(1)). If the host is found in the database, the expanded
address is written to the standard output. If the host is not found,
writes the original address to the standard output and returns an exit
status of 1. expects mailaddress to be in UUCP format (hostor ARPANET
format (user@host).
The option opens the database based on pathsfile rather than the
default database based on This database must be a database created by
consisting of the two files and
The dominant host is the left-most UUCP host in mailaddress. If no
UUCP host is found (no is in the address), assumes that the address is
in the simple ARPANET format user@host. If the address does not match
either format, writes the original address to the standard output and
returns an exit status of 1.
constructs a mail routing database by using the pathsfile data file
obtained from (see pathalias(1)). as input. The recommended pathsfile
location is because this is the default database used by The database
files and are created by If these files already exist, they must be
removed prior to running
The option specifies verbose mode, which writes a line to the standard
output for each entry written to the database.
DIAGNOSTICS
returns an exit status of 1 and writes the original mailaddress to the
standard output if the address is not found or is incorrectly format‐
ted. returns an exit status of 2 and prints a diagnostic message if
the database files are not accessible, or if improper parameters are
given. Otherwise, returns an exit status of 0.
If the database files and already exist prior to running the message is
displayed. These files must be removed before running
WARNINGS
Use of commands, including and is discouraged because they are targeted
for removal from HP-UX. Use ftp(1) or rcp(1) instead.
