NAME
       uubp - Unix-to-Unix beer protocol

SYNOPSIS
       uubp [-acefghlqy] site

DESCRIPTION
       Uubp  allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fer-
       mented grain beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP
       (telecommunication  protocol  for imbibing pilsners), uubp
       encodes beer from a local file system into  packets  suit-
       able  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.
