26: .SH DESCRIPTION
27: .I Nfxmit
28: and
29: .I nfrcv
30: implement networking of notesfiles.
31: The
32: .I nfxmit
33: program packages eligible new articles
34: and sends them to a remote system.
35: .I Nfrcv
36: is the receiving end of this team.
37: .PP
38: .I "Nfxmit"
39: sends the specified notesfiles to the
40: .I "site"
41: specified with the
42: .B "-d"
43: option.
44: The
45: .B "-r"
46: option specifies that a request should be queued for the
47: remote site to transmit updates from its copies of the notesfiles
48: sent.
49: The
50: .B "-r"
51: option is used only if the other site does not automatically queue
52: updates of the notesfile.
53: .PP
54: Specify
55: .B "-a"
56: to have articles which originated in
57: .IR news (1)
58: sent.
59: News(1)-originated articles will usually reach each system via the
60: news program.
61: .PP
62: The
63: .B "-i"
64: option indicates that
65: .I nfxmit
66: is to send articles to the destination that it normally would
67: not send.
68: These articles are those that were written there or were
69: received at the local site from that particular site.
70: The
71: .B "-i"
72: option is separate from the timestamp functions.
73: Articles are first selected on the basis of the time received
74: and criteria for having passed through news
75: or the destination system are applied later.
76: .PP
77: A timestamp of the last transmission of each notesfile to each system is
78: maintained. This is used for determining the notes to send.
79: If a different timestamp is desired,
80: use the
81: .B "-t"
82: option.
83: The supplied timestamp is used for this transfer and the
84: stored timestamp is updated.
85: .PP
86: Specify
87: .B "-f"
88: .I "myfile"
89: on the command line to have
90: .I "nfxmit"
91: read
92: .I "myfile"
93: for a list of notesfiles to be sent.
94: This is useful if the number of notesfiles is too numerous to list on a
95: single command line.
96: The shell meta-characters
97: .I "*, ?, [,"
98: and
99: .I "]"
100: are recognized in both the
101: .I topic
102: parameter and the entries in
103: .I "myfile."
104: .PP
105: .I "Nfxmit"
106: uses uux(I) to invoke
107: .I "nfrcv"
108: on the remote system in order to process the incoming notes.
109: Non-uucp connections are supported and specified in
110: the file
111: .I "/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.how"
