NAME
       faxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive


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


DESCRIPTION
       faxabort  sends a message to a HylaFAX faxgetty(8) 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/hylafax.


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/hylafax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

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