<u>-r</u> <u>{fix|var|vfc|stm}</u>
Sets the record format for files copied to a VMS system. The
default is <b>stm.</b> In fact the default is STREAMLF as this
corresponds to the format of files on Unix systems and so is the
least likely to result in file corruption. If you are sending a
pure text file then <b>var</b> or <b>vfc</b> may be more appropriate for your
application. <b>fix</b> may be useful for block-structures files and
data files.</span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font face="UICTFontTextStyleBody"><span style="white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">That is the verbatim text of the man page.
