| ~p from to, ~%put from to | Send a file to a remote UNIX system. This runs the appropriate commands on the remote system. |
| ~t from to, ~%take from to | Retrieve a file from a remote UNIX system. This runs the appropriate commands on the remote system. |
| ~s variable value | Set a cu variable to the given value. If value is not given, the variable is set to True. |
| ~! variable | Set a cu variable to False. |
| ~z | Suspend the cu session. This is only supported on some systems. On systems for which ^Z may be used to suspend a job, ~^Z will also suspend the session. |
| ~%nostop | Turn off XON/XOFF handling. |
| ~%stop | Turn on XON/XOFF handling. |
| ~v | List all the variables and their values. |
| ~? | List all commands. |
| cu also supports several variables. They may be listed with the ~v command, and set with the ~s or ~! commands. | |
| escape | The escape character. Initially ~ (tilde). |
| delay | If this variable is True, cu will delay for a second after recognizing the escape character before printing the name of the local system. The default is True. |
| eol | The list of characters which are considered to finish a line. The escape character is only recognized after one of these is seen. The default is carriage return, ^U, ^C, ^O, ^D, ^S, ^Q, ^R. |
| binary | Whether to transfer binary data when sending a file. If this is False, then newlines in the file being sent are converted to carriage returns. The default is False. |
| binary-prefix | A string used before sending a binary character in a file transfer, if the binary variable is True. The default is ^Z. |
| echo-check | Whether to check file transfers by examining what the remote system echoes back. This probably doesn't work very well. The default is False. |
| echonl | The character to look for after sending each line in a file. The default is carriage return. |
| timeout | The timeout to use, in seconds, when looking for a character, either when doing echo checking or when looking for the echonl character. The default is 30. |
| kill | The character to use to delete a line if the echo check fails. The default is ^U. |
| resend | The number of times to resend a line if the echo check continues to fail. The default is 10. |
| eofwrite | The string to write after sending a file with the ~> command. The default is ^D. |
| eofread | The string to look for when receiving a file with the ~< command. The default is $, which is intended to be a typical shell prompt. |
| verbose | Whether to print accumulated information during a file transfer. The default is True. |
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to cu:
| _e, —parity=even | Use even parity. |
| _o, —parity=odd | Use odd parity. |
| —parity=none | Use no parity. No parity is also used if both _e and _o are given. |
| _h, —halfduplex | Echo characters locally (half-duplex mode). |
| _z system, —system system | The system to call. |
| _c phone-number, —phone phone-number | The phone number to call. |
| _p port, —port port | Name the port to use. |
| _a port | Equivalent to —port port. |
| _l line, —line line | Name the line to use by giving a device name. This may be used to dial out on ports that are not listed in the UUCP configuration files. Write access to the device is required. |
Page 90
| _s speed, —speed speed | The speed (baud rate) to use. |
| _# | Where # is a number, equivalent to —speed #. |
| _n, —prompt | Prompt for the phone number to use. |
| _d | Enter debugging mode. Equivalent to _debug all. |
| _x type, —debug type | Turn on particular debugging types. The following types are recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucpproto, proto, port, config, spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing. Only abnormal, chat, handshake, port, config, incoming and outgoing are meaningful for cu. Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the —debug option may appear multiple times. A number may also be given, which will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for example, —debug 2 is equivalent to —debug abnormal,chat. —debug all may be used to turn on all debugging options. |
| _I file, —config file | Set configuration file to use. This option may not be available, depending upon how cu was compiled. |
| _v, —version | Report version information and exit. |
| —help | Print a help message and exit. |
BUGS
This program does not work very well.
FILES
The filename may be changed at compilation time, so this is only an approximation. Configuration file:

cut—Remove sections from each line of files
SYNOPSIS
cut {_b byte-list, —bytes=byte-list} [_n] [—help] [—version] [file...]
cut {_c character-list, —characters=character-list} [—help] [—version] [file...]
cut {_f field-list, —fields=field-list} [_d delim] [_s] [—delimiter=delim]
[—only-delimited] [—help] [—version] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of cut. cut prints sections of each line of each input file, or the standard input if no files are given. A filename of - means standard input. The sections to be printed are selected by the options.
OPTIONS
The byte-list, character-list, and field-list options are one or more numbers or ranges (two numbers separated by a dash) separated by commas. The first byte, character, and field are numbered 1. Incomplete ranges may be given: _m means 1_m; n_ means n through end of line or last field.
