FAXABORT(8C)

NAME
       faxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/faxabort [ -q dir ] modem

DESCRIPTION
       faxabort sends a message to a HylaFAX faxgetty(8C) process
       servicing modem telling it to  abort  any  active  receive
       operation.

       The  specified modem can either be the name (typically the
       last component of the terminal port the modem is  attached
       to),  or  the  full name of the associated FIFO named pipe
       file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

       Note that to abort a send operation the  faxrm(1)  command
       must be used.

OPTIONS
       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/fax.

NOTES
       On  some  systems  it  is not possible to abort a received
       facsimile because of problems in the operating system;  on
       such   systems  the  message  sent  by  faxabort  will  be
       (silently) ignored.

FILES
       /var/spool/fax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/fax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax(5F)  for  a  complete  discussion  of  the
       structure and content of the spooling area.
