NAME
       faxinfo - print information about a received facsimile

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/faxinfo [ -n ] file.tif

DESCRIPTION
       faxinfo  prints  descriptive  information  on the standard
       output about a received facsimile file.  For example:
              /var/spool/fax/recvq/fax00017.tif:
                  Sender: +14159657824
                   Pages: 3
                 Quality: Normal
                    Page: North American Letter
                Received: 1996:01:19 13:51:02
              TimeToRecv: 0:39
              SignalRate: 14400 bit/s
              DataFormat: 2-D MR

       This information is typically included in the notification
       mail  generated by the faxrcvd(8C) script when a facsimile
       is received by HylaFAX.

       The -n option suppresses the printing of the filename.

NOTES
       The information that faxinfo prints is obtained  from  the
       tags  stored  in  the  TIFF  image  that is written by the
       HylaFAX software.  If faxinfo is presented with an invalid
       TIFF  image it may print uninteresting information.  Simi-
       larly if a TIFF image that was not written by  HylaFAX  is
       supplied  as an argument then only partial information may
       be printed--this is because HylaFAX stores certain  infor-
       mation  in  private  tags  that other TIFF writers may not
       emit.
