format file | qtex | fax [-a]
fax is simple front-end to the lpr command, customized for
sending Telefax messages. It is designed to be used within a Unix
pipe, as shown in the synopsis.
-helpIf this is the only option, a short message listing all the options available, and their purpose, is printed to the standard out.
-aSend an acknowledgement, by electronic mail, if the fax message was received without difficulty.
The telefax number is written to a file named ".fax=num", in the
current directory, by qtex. This file is read and then deleted
by this fax program. Should there coincidentally be a file
with this name which is not write protected, it will be removed.
