SENDBATCH(1)

🎀 SENDBATCH(1) 🎀

ok so this is the sendbatch page from the General Commands Manual — welcome to it bestie, it's short but it slaps 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sendbatch — a primitive UUCP batcher. yes, primitive. it's doing its best, ok? 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sendbatch [-zZb] [source]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this page is here to briefly document the sendbatch bash script. brief. iconic. no notes.

sendbatch is a bash(1) script and it works as a primitive UUCP batcher — like, it batches things, but in a primitive way, iykyk. 💀

here's the whole glow-up routine it runs on your articles, in order:

1. it adds the #! rnews line ✨
2. it optionally compresses them (compress? more like compress-optional, not me being cute — it's literally optional) 🎀
3. it prepends the proper unbatcher line 🧚
4. and finally, the main character move: it hands the articles over to uux 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -z — build "gunbatch" (that's gzip, bestie) 🍓
• -Z — build "cunbatch" (that's compress) 🌈
• -b — build "bunbatch" (that's bzip2) — and heads up, this one's the default ⭐

fr fr, -b/bunbatch/bzip2 is the one you get if you don't pick anything. default queen behavior 👑

leafnode(8), rnews(8), bash(1) — go read those too, they're giving lore 💜
