cu — Call up another system (stub only)
Format
- cu [–dehot] [–l device_name] [–s speed] [system_name | phone_num]
- cu –n [–dehot] [–l device_name] [–s speed]
Note: The cu utility is fully supported
for compatibility with older UNIX systems.
However, because it is no longer supported by POSIX.2 IEEE standard
1003.2-1992, this utility should be avoided for applications intended
to be portable to other UNIX-branded systems.
Description
cu connects to remote systems specified in the UUCP configuration file. You can use it for simple terminal connections, or to do simple file transfer with no error checking.
cu is recognized, but its functions are disabled. Traditionally, it is used for simple terminal connections to remote systems specified in the UUCP configuration file. cu requires a direct connection (such as with a modem) to the remote system, but this is not supported by z/OS.
