NAME¶
sieve-dump - Pigeonhole's Sieve script binary dump tool
SYNOPSIS¶
sieve-dump [
options]
sieve-binary [
out-file]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
sieve-dump command is part of the Pigeonhole Project (
pigeonhole(7)), which adds Sieve (RFC 5228) support to the Dovecot
secure IMAP and POP3 server (
dovecot(1)).
Using the
sieve-dump command, Sieve binaries, which are produced for
instance by
sievec(1), can be transformed into a human-readable textual
representation. This can provide valuable insight in how the Sieve script is
executed. This is also particularly useful to view corrupt binaries that can
result from bugs in the Sieve implementation. This tool is intended mainly for
development purposes, so normally system administrators and users will not
need to use this tool.
The format of the output is not explained here in detail, but it should be
relatively easy to understand. The Sieve binaries comprise a set of data
blocks, each of which can contain arbitrary data. For the base language
implementation two blocks are used: the first containing a specification of
all required language extensions and the second containing the main Sieve
program. Compiled Sieve programs are represented as flat byte code and
therefore the dump of the main program is a disassembly listing of the
interpreter operations. Extensions can define new operations and use
additional blocks. Therefore, the output of
sieve-dump depends greatly
on the language extensions used when compiling the binary.
OPTIONS¶
- -c config-file
- Alternative Dovecot configuration file path.
- -h
- Produce per-block hexdump output of the whole binary
instead of the normal human-readable output.
- -x extensions
- Set the available extensions. The parameter is a
space-separated list of the active extensions. By prepending the extension
identifiers with + or -, extensions can be included or
excluded relative to the configured set of active extensions. If no
extensions have a + or - prefix, only those extensions that
are explicitly listed will be enabled. Unknown extensions are ignored and
a warning is produced.
For example -x "+imapflags -enotify" will enable the
deprecated imapflags extension and disable the enotify extension. The rest
of the active extensions depends on the sieve_extensions and
sieve_global_extensions settings. By default, i.e. when
sieve_extensions and sieve_global_extensions remain
unconfigured, all supported extensions are available, except for
deprecated extensions or those that are still under development.
ARGUMENTS¶
- sieve-binary
- Specifies the Sieve binary file that needs to be
dumped.
- out-file
- Specifies where the output must be written. This argument
is optional. If omitted, the output is written to stdout.
EXIT STATUS¶
sieve-dump will exit with one of the following values:
- 0
- Dump was successful. (EX_OK, EXIT_SUCCESS)
- 1
- Operation failed. This is returned for almost all failures.
(EXIT_FAILURE)
- 64
- Invalid parameter given. (EX_USAGE)
FILES¶
- /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
- Dovecot's main configuration file.
- /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf
- Sieve interpreter settings (included from Dovecot's main
configuration file)
REPORTING BUGS¶
Report bugs, including
doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List
<dovecot@dovecot.org>. Information about reporting Dovecot and
