.SH DESCRIPTION

.B take
is the other half of the give/take pair of utilites.  It allows the 
user to collect files "given" to them by another user.  Files are 
copied from the spool directories to the current working directory, 
and ownership is changed to the user running take.

Certain users may be limited to take files only from specific givers. 
For these users, files may only be taken from givers who are members 
of the gt-<uid> group where uid is the UNIX id of the limited user.

is specified, then the specified files will be transfered.

is the username of the user that gave the files away.
