.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Uucico
transfers files between systems
for
.IR uucp (1).
It is normally invoked by
.I login
for
an incoming connection
(a slave),
or by
.IR uusched (8)
to call out to another system
(a master).
.PP
The
.B \-r1
option
causes it to act as a master.
In this case,
.B \-s
must be given
to name the
.I system
to be called.
If
.B \-r1
is not present,
.I uucico
goes into slave mode,
and assumes that a master will talk to it
on standard input and output.
.PP
.B \-x
turns on debugging output;
.I debug_level
is a single digit.
Larger numbers
request greater loquaciousness.
.PP
.ig
For example,
the shell
.I Uutry
starts
.I uucico
with debugging turned on.
..
.PP
.I Kick
invokes
.I uucico
in the background
to call out to the specified
.IR system .
.I Debug
causes a call with
a moderate amount
of debugging output
(\c
.BR \-x4 ).
Both attempt to remove
existing system status information
for
.IR system ,
so that a call will be attempted
regardless of recent failures.
