    NAME

    
    
    biff
    
     - be notified if mail arrives and who it is from
    
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    [n | y | b ]  

    DESCRIPTION

    The utility informs the system whether you want to be notified on your terminal when mail arrives.

    Affected is the first terminal associated with the standard input, standard output or standard error file descriptor, in that order. Thus, it is possible to use the redirection facilities of a shell to toggle the notification for other terminals than the one runs on.

    The following options are available:

    n
    Disable notification.
    y
    Enable header notification.
    b
    Enable bell notification.

    When header notification is enabled, the header and first few lines of the message will be printed on your terminal whenever mail arrives. A ``biff y '' command is often included in the file .login or .profile to be executed at each login.

    When bell notification is enabled, only two bell characters ( ASCII \007) will be printed on your terminal whenever mail arrives.

    If no arguments are given, displays the present notification status of the terminal to the standard output.

    The utility operates asynchronously. For synchronous notification use the MAIL variable of sh(1) or the mail variable of csh(1).  

    EXIT STATUS

    The utility exits with one of the following values:

    0
    Notification is enabled.
    1
    Notification is disabled.
    >1
    An error occurred.

     

    COMPATIBILITY

    Previous versions of the utility affected the terminal attached to standard error without first trying the standard input or output devices.
