# recvstats(8)

summarize HylaFAX receive accounting information

## NAME

recvstats - summarize *HylaFAX* receive accounting information

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/sbin/recvstats** \[ *options* \] \[ *files* \]

## DESCRIPTION

*recvstats* is a command script that prints a summary of the *HylaFAX* accounting statistics for received facsimile. The statistics can be sorted using one of several keys: the caller's CSI (default), CIDName (CallID2), CIDNumber (CallID1), the communication speed, or the communication data format. Statistics are read from the file **/var/spool/hylafax/log/xferfaxlog** unless filenames are specified on the command line.

The following table is an example of the output from *recvstats* (using the default sort key):

```

```

The *Sender* column shows the caller's TSI (notice that some callers have not setup a TSI). The *CIDName* column is the received CIDName value for the sender. The *CIDNumber* column is the received CIDNumber value for the sender. The *Pages* column is the total number of good pages received. The *time* column shows the total amount of time spent receiving facsimile from a sender. The *Pg/min* column displays the average transfer rate. The *Errs* column indicates how many protocol errors were encountered while receiving facsimile. The *TypRate* column displays the most common communication speed with which facsimile were received. The *TypData* column shows the most common data format in which facsimile data were received.

## OPTIONS

- **-age** *days*

  Show information only for the facsimile received in the last specified number of *days*.

- **-csi\***

  Sort output by caller's CSI.

- **-cidname**

  Sort output by CIDName

- **-cidnumber**

  Sort output by CIDNumber

- **-format**

  Sort output by data format.

- **-send\***

  Sort output by sender (i.e. caller's CSI ).

- **-speed**

  Sort output by signalling rate.

- **-since** *time*

  Show information only for the facsimile received since the specified *time*; where *time* is of the form \`\`MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the [*date*(1)](/date/1.md) format string %D %H:%M).

- **-end** *time*

  Show information only for the facsimile received before the specified *time*; where *time* is of the same form as **since.**
