DESCRIPTION
This manpage very briefly describes every program from the mgetty+sendfax
fax/modem software suite. For details, see the manpages for each program.
faxspool
is used to queue jobs for later transmission by fax.
faxspool
accepts different input formats, converts them into the proper format
required by
sendfax
and places the jobs into the outgoing spool directory.
faxq
displays the current FAX work queue.
faxrm
removes one or more jobs from the current fax work queue. You have to
specify the job id (returned by faxq) on the command line.
faxrunq
processes all the faxes in the fax work queue, and sends them one-by-one.
If transmission isn't possible, the job will be retried later. While meant
to be run from
cron,faxrunq
can as well be started from the shell (but you must be root).
sendfax
is the backend used by faxrunq for actually sending the fax. It is not
meant to be ever called directly, but can be used in own applications.
mgetty
is the part of the program suite that handles incoming calls. Data calls
are handled as
getty
does it (login, shell), while fax calls are handled internally. The
received faxes are stored in /var/spool/fax/incoming. See the mgetty(1) manpage for
details.
mgetty
can not be called directly, it must be called by /etc/init.
pbm2g3
is used to convert portable bitmaps to G3 fax data (for sendfax). Do not
use the pbmtog3 program from the pbmplus or netpbm toolkit, it will create
broken G3 data.
g32pbm
is used to convert received faxes (which are stored in G3 format) to
portable bitmap format. PBM can be converted to other formats with the
named pbmplus toolkit.
g3cat
is used to concat multiple G3 files, as
cat
does with text files.
