Standard Options
================

   All of the UUCP programs support a few standard options.

`-x type'
`--debug type'
     Turn on particular debugging types.  The following types are
     recognized: `abnormal', `chat', `handshake', `uucp-proto',
     `proto', `port', `config', `spooldir', `execute', `incoming',
     `outgoing'.  Not all types of debugging are effective for all
     programs.  See the `debug' configuration command for details
     (see Debugging Levels.).

     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'.  To
     turn on all types of debugging, use `-x all'.

     The `uulog' program uses `-X' rather than `-x' to select the
     debugging type; for `uulog', `-x' has a different meaning, for
     reasons of historical compatibility.

`-I file'
`--config file'
     Set the main configuration file to use.  See config File.
     When this option is used, the programs will revoke any setuid
     privileges.

`-v'
`--version'
     Report version information and exit.

`--help'
     Print a help message and exit.
