.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM are a family of protocols that are widely used
|
|
is the \s-2MS-DOS\s0 world for transferring information reliably from one
|
|
computer to another. In all of these protocols, a series of bytes are sent
|
|
from one computer to the other, and then an acknowledgement is sent back
|
|
to confirm correct reception. Checksums are used to detect errors so that
|
|
transmission is reliable even in the face of noisy telephone lines.
|
|
\fISz\fR is a program that sends a file sent from another computer using the
|
|
zmodem protocol.
|
|
The file can be received using \fIrz\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fISz\fR uses the ZMODEM error correcting
|
|
protocol to send one or more files over a dial-in serial
|
|
port to a variety of programs running under
|
|
\s-1MINIX 3\s-1,
|
|
\s-2UNIX\s+2,
|
|
\s-2MS-DOS\s0, \s-2CP/M\s0, \s-2VMS\s0, and other operating systems.
|
|
It is the successor to XMODEM and YMODEM.
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZMODEM greatly simplifies file transfers compared to XMODEM.
|
|
In addition to a friendly user interface, ZMODEM provides
|
|
Personal Computer and other users an efficient, accurate,
|
|
and robust file transfer method.
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZMODEM provides complete end-to-end data integrity between
|
|
application programs. ZMODEM's 32 bit CRC catches errors
|
|
that sneak into even the most advanced networks.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Output from another program may be piped to \fIsz\fR for
|
|
transmission by denoting standard input with \-:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B " ""ls \-l | sz \-"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The program output is transmitted with the filename \fIsPID.sz\fR
|
|
where PID is the process ID of the \fIsz\fR program. If the
|
|
environment variable \fIONAME\fR is set, that is used instead. In
|
|
this case, the command:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B " ""ls \-l | ONAME=con sz \-ay \-"
|
|
.PP
|
|
will send a \&'file\&' to the PC-DOS console display.
|
|
The \fB\-y\fR option instructs the receiver to open the file for writing
|
|
unconditionally.
|
|
The \fB\-a\fR option causes the receiver to
|
|
convert
|
|
\s-2UNIX\s+2
|
|
newlines to PC-DOS carriage returns and linefeeds.
|
|
On
|
|
\s-2UNIX\s+2
|
|
systems, additional information about the file is
|
|
transmitted. If the receiving program uses this
|
|
information, the transmitted file length controls the exact
|
|
number of bytes written to the output dataset, and the
|
|
modify time and file mode are set accordingly.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsz\fR is invoked with $SHELL set and if that variable
|
|
contains the string \fIrsh\fR or \fIrksh\fR (restricted shell), \fIsz\fR
|
|
operates in restricted mode. Restricted mode restricts
|
|
pathnames to the current directory and \fIPUBDIR\fR (usually
|
|
\fI/usr/spool/uucppublic\fR) and/or subdirectories thereof.
|

The options and flags available are:
|
|
.in +0.25i
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-+
|
|
.br
|
|
Instruct the receiver to append transmitted data to an existing file.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
.br
|
|
Convert NL characters in the transmitted file to CR/LF.
|
|
This is done by the sender for XMODEM and YMODEM, by the receiver for ZMODEM.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-b
|
|
.br
|
|
Binary override: transfer file without any translation.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
.br
|
|
Send COMMAND (follows \fIc\fR) to the receiver for execution, return with
|
|
COMMAND's exit status.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
.br
|
|
Change all instances of \&'.\&' to \&'/\&' in the transmitted
|
|
pathname. Thus, C.omenB0000 (which is unacceptable to
|
|
\s-2MS-DOS\s0 or CP/M) is transmitted as C/omenB0000. If the
|
|
resultant filename has more than 8 characters in the
|
|
stem, a \&'.\&' is inserted to allow a total of eleven.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
.br
|
|
Escape all control characters; normally XON, XOFF, DLE,
|
|
CR-@-CR, and Ctrl-X are escaped.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
.br
|
|
Send Full pathname. Normally directory prefixes are stripped from
|
|
the transmitted filename.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
.br
|
|
Send COMMAND (follows \fIi\fR) to the receiver for execution, return
|
|
Immediately upon the receiving program's successful reception of the command.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
.br
|
|
Use ZMODEM sub-packets of length \fIn\fR (follows \fIL\fR).
|
|
A larger \fIn\fR (32 <= \fIn\fR <= 1024) gives slightly higher throughput, a
|
|
smaller one speeds error recovery. The default is 128 below 300
|
|
baud, 256 above 300 baud, or 1024 above 2400 baud.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
.br
|
|
Wait for the receiver to acknowledge correct data every
|
|
\fIn\fR (32 <= \fIn\fR <= 1024) characters.
|
|
This may be used to avoid network overrun when XOFF flow control is lacking.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
.br
|
|
Send each file if destination file does not exist.
|
|
Overwrite destination file if source file is newer than the destination file.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-N
|
|
.br
|
|
Send each file if destination file does not exist. Overwrite destination
|
|
file if source file is newer or longer than the destination file.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-o
|
|
.br
|
|
Disable automatic selection of 32 bit CRC.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
.br
|
|
Protect existing destination files by skipping transfer if the destination
|
|
file exists.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-q
|
|
.br
|
|
Quiet suppresses verbosity.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
.br
|
|
Resume interrupted file transfer. If the source file is longer than the
|
|
destination file, the transfer commences at the offset in the source file
|
|
that equals the length of the destination file.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
.br
|
|
Change timeout.
|
|
The timeout, in tenths of seconds, follows, the \fB\-t\fR flag.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
.br
|
|
Unlink the file after successful transmission.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
.br
|
|
Limit the transmit window size to \fIn\fR bytes (\fIn follows \fB(enw\fR).
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
.br
|
|
Verbose causes a list of file names to be appended to \fI/tmp/szlog\fR.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-y
|
|
.br
|
|
Instruct a ZMODEM receiving program to overwrite any existing file with the
|
|
same name.
|
|
.ti -0.25i
|
|
.B \-Y
|
|
.br
|
|
Instruct a ZMODEM receiving program to overwrite any existing file with the
|
|
same name, and to skip any source files that do have a file with the same
|
|
pathname on the destination system.
|
|
.in -0.25i
