NAME

       sendq/q* - HylaFAX outbound job description

DESCRIPTION

       Files  in the sendq directory specify transmission job requests.  These
       files are created by hfaxd(8), when  submitting  a  job  on  behalf  of
       sendfax(1)  or  sendpage(1).   Job description files also reside in the
       doneq directory; they are moved there by faxq(8) when a job  completes.

       Job description files are ASCII files with lines of the form
            tag: value
       where  a  tag  is one of the identifiers described below and a value is
       either a string  or  number.   Values  start  at  the  first  non-blank
       character  after  the ``:'' and continue to the end of the line.  Lines
       that end with a backslash character ``\'' are  continued  to  the  next
       line.   Numeric  values  are  decimal integers, except for chophreshold
       which is expressed as a floating point value.

       The following table lists the possible tags and the  required  type  of
       the associated value.

PARAMETERS

       Note  that  all  files  must  be  owned by the fax user.  Pathnames for
       document files must be relative to the  top  of  the  HylaFAX  spooling
       directory and not include ``..''.

       chopthreshold The  minimum  trailing  whitespace  (in inches) that must
                     appear on a page for  it  to  be  considered  for  ``page
                     chopping''.   If this parameter is not specified then the
                     value specified by  the  PageChopThreshold  configuration
                     parameter is used; see hylafax-config(5).

       commid        The  communication  identifier for the last outbound call
                     placed  for  this  job.   This  string  is  of  the  form
                     ``XXXXXXXX''  where XXXXXXXX is a decimal sequence number
                     in the range 1-99999999.

       client        The fully qualified hostname for the machine  from  which
                     the job was submitted.  If the hostname is unknown at the
                     time the job is  submitted,  then  the  host  address  in
                     Internet   standard  ``.''  (dot)  notation  is  supplied
                     instead.

       company       The receiver's company name  as  specified  with  the  -x
                     option  to  sendfax(1).   This  value  is  used only when
                     creating continuation cover pages.

       cover         The pathname of a continuation cover page to  send.   The
                     file must be TIFF/F (i.e. it must already be prepared for
                     transmission).  This document will be transmitted  before
                     any   other   documents   listed   in   the   file.   See
                     ContCoverPage and ContCoverCmd in hylafax-config(5).

       data          The pathname of a document to send.  Once a document  has
                     been  processed, it is marked as !data so that subsequent
                     retries do not reprocess the document.

       dataformat    The format used to transmit facsimile data.  This item is
                     recorded by faxsend(8) so that notify(8) can return it in
                     a notification message.

       desiredbr     The  desired  signalling  rate  to  use  for  page   data
                     transmissions: 0 for 2400 bps, 1 for 4800 bps, 2 for 7200
                     bps, 3 for 9600 bps, 4 for 12000 bps, 5 for 14400 bps,  6
                     for  16800  bps,  7 for 19200 bps, 8 for 21600 bps, 9 for
                     24000 bps, 10 for 26400 bps, 11 for  28800  bps,  12  for
                     31200 bps, and 13 for 33600 bps (default).

       desireddf     The   desired   data   format   to   use  for  page  data
                     transmissions: 0 for 1-D MH, 1 for 2-D MR, 3 for  2-D  MR
                     with uncompressed data, and 4 for 2-D MMR (default).

       desiredec     Which  type  of  Error Correction Mode (ECM) to use: 0 to
                     disable, 1 for 64-byte ECM, 2 for 256-byte ECM (default).

       desiredst     The  desired  minimum  scanline time to use for page data
                     transmissions: 0 for 0 ms (default), 1 for 5  ms,  2  for
                     10ms/5ms,  3 for 10ms, 4 for 20ms/10ms, 5 for 20ms, 6 for
                     40ms/20ms, and  7  for  40ms.   This  value  is  used  in
                     selecting the negotiated session parameters.

       desiredtl     Whether  or not to use the format string specified by the
                     tagline job parameter when imaging taglines  on  document
                     pages.   If  this  value  is non-zero then per-job format
                     string is  used;  otherwise  the  tagline  format  string
                     specified  in  the server configuration file is used; see
                     TagLineFormat in hylafax-config(5).

       doneop        The  treatment  the  job  should  be  given  when  it  is
                     processed  by  the faxqclean(8) job cleaner program.  The
                     may be one of remove (to expunge the job description file
                     and  all  associated documents that are not referenced by
                     another job) or archive (to  request  that  the  job  and
                     associated  documents be archived on the server machine).
                     Consult faxqclean more details on other information  that
                     may be included in this string.

       errorcode     The  codified form of the status message intended for use
                     by clients which provide customized status messages keyed
                     from this standard index.

       external      The external form of the dialstring.  This string is used
                     instead of the dialstring in any status and log messages.
                     Clients  can  protect  private information such as access
                     codes that must be placed in dialstrings by  supplying  a
                     ``cleansed'' version of the dialstring.

       fax           The  pathname  of  a  TIFF/F  document  that is ready for
                     transmission.  If  the  pathname  string  has  a  leading
                     ``xx:'',  then  ``xx''  is interpreted to be the index of
                     the first directory in the file to transmit  (directories
                     are numbered starting at zero).

       faxnumber     The  number  to  use  when  sending  a  fax.   Parallel's
                     FAXNumber device config option.

       groupid       The job group identifier, an integer number in the  range
                     1  to 32000 assigned to each group of jobs by the HylaFAX
                     software.  Each job in a group of jobs submitted  at  the
                     same  time  is  assigned  the  same  value by the HylaFAX
                     software.

       jobid         The job identifier, a unique integer number in the  range
                     1  to 32000 assigned to each job by the HylaFAX software.

       jobtag        A   user-specified   string   that   is   intended    for
                     identification  purposes.   If this string is defined, it
                     is returned to the user in notification messages  instead
                     of the job identifier.

       killtime      The  time  to  kill  this job, expressed in seconds since
                     00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970.

       location      The receiver's location as specified with the  -y  option
                     to  sendfax(1).   This  value  is used only when creating
                     continuation cover pages.

       mailaddr      The  electronic  mail  address  to   which   notification
                     messages should be directed.

       maxdials      The  maximum  number  of times the server should dial the
                     phone.  If the job cannot be completed in this number  of
                     calls, it is terminated.

       maxtries      The  maximum number of times the server should attempt to
                     send a job; where an attempt is defined to be  a  session
                     that  makes  it  past  Phase A of the CCITT T.30 protocol
                     (for facsimile),  or  similar.   If  the  job  cannot  be
                     completed in this number of tries, it is terminated.

       minsp         The  minimum signalling rate to use for transmitting page
                     data: 0 for 2400 bps (default), 1 for  4800  bps,  2  for
                     7200  bps,  3  for 9600 bps, 4 for 12000 bps, 5 for 14400
                     bps, 6 for 16800 bps, 7 for 19200 bps, 8 for 21600 bps, 9
                     for 24000 bps, 10 for 26400 bps, 11 for 28800 bps, 12 for
                     31200 bps, and 13 for 33600 bps.

       modem         The outgoing modem to use to send the job, or ``any''  if
                     any available modem is acceptable.

       owner         The  identity  of  the user that owns the job.  Typically
                     the owner is  the  user  that  created  the  job,  though
                     clients  with  administrative  privileges  can change the
                     ownership of jobs.  The value is the string specified  in
                     the  USER command passed to hfaxd(8) when a client logins
                     in to the server.

       notify        A specification of whether the sender wants notification:
                     whenever  the  job  is requeued after a failed attempt to
                     transmit (``when requeued''), when the job  is  completed
                     (``when    done''),   either   of   the   above   (``when
                     done+requeued''), or not at all (``none'').

       npages        The number of pages in the facsimile, including the cover
                     page, that have been successfully transmitted.

       ntries        The  number  of unsuccessful attempts that have been made
                     to transmit the current page.

       ndials        The  number  of  consecutive  unsuccessful  attempts   to
                     establish carrier with the the remote device.

       number        The dialstring to use to call the destination device.

       page          a  string  with  PIN  and  to  use  in  processing a page
                     transmit request.

       pagechop      Whether  or  not  to  automatically   truncate   trailing
                     whitespace  on  pages of outbound facsimile; see PageChop
                     in   hylafax-config(5).    The   possible   values   are:
                     ``default''   to   use   the   setting  of  the  PageChop
                     configuration  parameter,  ``none''   to   disable   page
                     chopping,  ``all''  to  enable chopping of all pages, and
                     ``last'' to enable chopping of  the  last  page  of  each
                     document.

       pagehandling  A  string  that contains per-page information used during
                     facsimile transmission.  Most of the information is  used
                     in  the negotiation of session capabilities with optional
                     information used in the implementation of page  chopping.
                     The  string  has three characters, say xxc, for each page
                     to be transmitted.  The xx characters are  a  hex-encoded
                     specification  of  the  session  capabilities required to
                     transmit the page.  The c  character  is  one  of  ``M'',
                     ``S'', and ``P''; where: ``M'' indicates there is another
                     page to follow and that the page requires different  T.30
                     session  parameters  be  negotiated (an EOM code is to be
                     transmitted).  ``S'' indicates there is another  page  to
                     follow, but the page uses the same session parameters (an
                     MPS.  code is to be transmitted).  ``P''  indicates  this
                     is  the last page to be transmitted (an EOP code is to be
                     transmitted).  In addition, if  page  chopping  has  been
                     enabled and the page has enough trailing whitespace to be
                     a candidate, then each three  character  string  will  be
                     followed  by  a  string  of  the  form  ``ZXXXX'',  where
                     ``XXXX'' is a 4 digit hex-encoded count of the number  of
                     bytes of data to send for a chopped page.

       pagelength    The desired page length in millimeters.

       pagewidth     The desired page width in millimeters.

       pcl           The  pathname  of  a  PCL  document  to send.  Once a PCL
                     document has been processed by faxsend, it is  marked  as
                     !pcl  so  that  subsequent  retries  do not reprocess the
                     document.

       poll          The value is a Caller Identification String (CIS) to  use
                     in making a polling request.  If no CIS is specified then
                     faxsend will form one from  the  FAXNumber  configuration
                     parameter.

       postscript    The pathname of a POSTSCRIPT(R) document to send.  Once a
                     POSTSCRIPT document has been processed by faxsend, it  is
                     marked  as  !postscript so that subsequent retries do not
                     reprocess the document.

       receiver      The receiver's  name.   This  value  is  used  only  when
                     creating continuation cover pages.

       resolution    The  desired vertical resolution in lines per inch.  This
                     value should be either 98 or 196.

       retrytime     The time, in seconds, to delay between  each  attempt  to
                     transmit  a  job  that  fails because of a communication-
                     oriented problem.  Normally jobs are scheduled  according
                     to  a  collection  of  configuration  parameters that are
                     tuned for the specific reason of each failure;  e.g.  see
                     JobReqProto in hylafax-config(5).

       returned      Used internally to determine the last return value of the
                     job send attempt.

       sender        The ``full name'' of the sender of the facsimile.

       signalrate    The signalling rate  used  to  transmit  facsimile  data.
                     This item is recorded by faxsend(8) so that notify(8) can
                     return it in a notification message.

       state         The job  scheduling  state.   Recognized  values  are:  1
                     (suspended, not being scheduled), 2 (pending, waiting for
                     the time to send), 3 (sleeping, waiting for  a  scheduled
                     timeout),  4 (blocked, waiting for concurrent activity to
                     the same destination to complete), 5 (ready, ready to  be
                     processed  except  for  available  resources), 6 (active,
                     actively being processed by HylaFAX), 7 (done, processing
                     completed with success).  8 (failed, processing completed
                     with a failure).

       status        Status information about the current state  of  the  job.
                     Typically this is the reason why the last attempt to send
                     the facsimile failed.

       subaddr       The SubAddress information to  transmit  when  sending  a
                     facsimile.  This string should be used by the receiver to
                     route received facsimile documents.

       tagline       The format string to use in imaging taglines on  outgoing
                     documents.   Note that this parameter is only used if the
                     desiredtl parameter is non-zero.

       tiff          The pathname of a TIFF/F document to send.  Once  a  TIFF
                     document  has  been processed by faxsend, it is marked as
                     !tiff so that subsequent retries  do  not  reprocess  the
                     document.

       totdials      The total number of times the server has placed a call to
                     the receiving phone number.

       totpages      The total number of pages to be transmitted.

       tottries      The total number of  attempts  to  transmit  a  job;  see
                     maxtries above.

       tsi           TSI to use when sending.  This is only used if the device
                     has  been  configured  to  allow  it.    Otherwise,   the
                     configured LocalIdentifier.  is used.

       tts           The  time to send the job.  If this value is non-zero, it
                     is number of seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970.
                     Otherwise, a value of 0 is interpreted to mean process as
                     soon as possible.

       useccover     1 if the job should use a continuation cover page  during
                     retransmission, 0 otherwise.

       usexvres      1  if  the  job  should use the highest possible vertical
                     resolution, 0 otherwise.   See  hylafax-server(5)  for  a
                     description of continuation cover pages.
