NAME¶
rcvpack - append message to file
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/lib/mh/rcvpack file [-mbox]
[-mmdf] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
rcvpack program will append a copy of the message to the file listed
on its command line.
If the
-mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are
separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used by most
mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
If the
-mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf
style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL-A's and a
newline.
rcvpack will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize access to
the file, when running multiple copies of
rcvpack.
In general, its use is obsoleted by the
file action of
slocal,
although it might still have occasional uses in various shell scripts.
FILES¶
^/etc/nmh/mts.conf~^nmh mts configuration file
