uucc — Compile UUCP configuration files

Format

uucc

Description

uucc reads the contents of the uucp configuration files and compiles them into a single configuration file called /usr/lib/uucp/config. The configuration files are:
  • Systems
  • Devices
  • Dialers
  • Dialcodes
  • Permissions

Because uucc expects these text files to be in the current working directory, you need to change the directory (with the cd command) to /usr/lib/uucp before issuing uucc. See the section on creating or editing UUCP configuration files in z/OS UNIX System Services Planningz/OS UNIX System Services Planning for more information.
