NAME

       uubp - Unix-to-Unix beer protocol

SYNOPSIS

       uubp [-acefghlqy] site

DESCRIPTION

       Uubp  allows  the  user  to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented grain beverages between network sites.
       Using TCP/IP (telecommunication protocol for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes  beer  from  a  local  file
       system into packets suitable for FTP (fermentation transfer protocol) delivery at a remote IP site.

       Example:

       % uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100

       The  preceding  example  sends  two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale (-c"AMBER") with a fizziness quotient of
       70%, brewed using yeast of type 0 (saccharomyces cerevisiae) to PI address 198.137.240.100, which is  the
       IP address of the White House.

RESTRICTIONS

       Both  source  and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon.  In addition, local restriction exist in
       many areas for the transportation alkohol across state  lines.  The  Electronic  Frontier  Foundation  is
       currently  involved  in  litigation  to  ensure  the ability to distribute beer through the uubp protocol
       according to the 21st Amendment. To support the SIG of EFF devoted to this cause, join the Homebrewers of
       the  Electronic  Frontier  Engaged  in Winning Electronic Independence and Zeroing Establishment Nonsense
