.SH NAME
sb \- send files in batch mode
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B sb
[
.B \-7fkqv
]
.B file ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Sb
sends one or more files to yam or rb
in batch mode.

Only the file name part of the pathname is transmitted.

On Unix systems, additional information about the file is transmitted.
If the receiving program uses this information,
the transmitted file length controls the exact number of bytes written to
the output dataset,
and the modify time and file mode
are set accordingly.

Sb can send a single file to most MODEM protocol implementations.
These ignore the first block containing the file name.
(The received file name must be supplied by the user.)

If sb is invoked with stdout and stderr to different datasets,
Verbose is set to 2, causing frame by frame progress reports
to stderr.
This may be disabled with the
.B q
option.

Iff sb is invoked with $SHELL set and iff that vairable contains the
string ``rsh'' (restricted shell), sb operates in restricted mode.
Restricted mode restricts pathnames to the current directory and
PUBDIR (conventionally, /usr/spool/uucppublic) and/or subdirectories
thereof.

.PP
The meanings of the available options are:
.PP
.PD 0
.TP
.B 7
Transfer file(s) using only 7 bit data.
Files will be transferred with the eighth bit reset.
Both ends must use (or not use) this option.
Cannot be used with the crc option.
.TP
.B f
Send Full pathnname.
Normally directory prefices are stripped from the transmitted
filename.
.TP
.B k
Send files using 1024 byte blocks
rather than the default 128 byte blocks.
The user should determine experimentally
the conditions under which use of 1k blocks
actually improves throughput without causing
problems.
.TP
.B q
Quiet suppresses verbosity.
.TP
.B v
.IR Verbose
causes a list of file
names to be appended to
/tmp/rblog .
More v's generate more output.
