NAME
     gammu-smsd-files  -  gammu-smsd(1)  backend  using  filesystem as a message
     storage

DESCRIPTION
     FILES backend stores all data on a filesystem in folders defined by config-
     uration (see gammu-smsdrc for description of configuration options).

RECEIVING OF MESSAGES
     Received messages are stored in a	folder	defined  by  configuration.  The
     filename  will  be  IN<date>_<time>_<serial>_<sender>_<sequence>.<ext>, for
     example IN20021130_021531_00_+45409000931640979_00.txt.

     Explanation of fields:

     <date>
	    date in format YYYYMMDD

     <time>
	    time in format HHMMSS

     <sender>
	    sender number

     <serial>
	    order of a message (in case more  messages	were  received	at  same
	    time), in format NN

     <sequence>
	    part of the message for multipart messages, in format NN

     <ext>  txt  for text message, 8-bit messages are stored with bin extension,
	    smsbackup for gammu-smsbackup

     The content of the file is content of the message and the format is defined
     by configuration directive InboxFormat (see gammu-smsdrc).

TRANSMITTING OF MESSAGES
     Transmitted messages are read from a folder defined by  configuration.  The
     filename should be one of the following formats:

     * OUT<recipient>.<ext>

     * OUT<priority>_<recipient>_<serial>.<ext>

     * OUT<priority><date>_<time>_<serial>_<recipient>_<note>.<ext>

     Explanation of fields:

     <recipient>
	    recipient number where to send message

     <priority>
	    an alphabetic character (A-Z) A = highest priority

     <ext>  txt for normal text SMS, smsbackup for gammu-smsbackup

     <note>
	    any arbitrary text which is ignored

     For text messages, you can additionally append flags to extension:

	d      delivery report requested

	f      flash SMS

	b      WAP bookmark as name,URL

     Other fields are same as for received messages.

     For  example  OUTG20040620_193810_123_+4512345678_xpq.txtdf is a flash text
     SMS requesting delivery reports.

     SMSes will be transmitted sequentially based on the file name. The contents
     of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or standard  character
     set).

     The  contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or stan-
     dard character set), for WAP bookmarks it is split on as Name,URL, for text
     messages whole file content is used.

     Please note that if file is not in Unicode, encoding is detected  based  on
     locales,  which  do  not have to be configured if SMSD is running from init
     script. If this is your case, please add locales definition to init script.
