POSTCAT(1) | General Commands Manual | POSTCAT(1) |
NAME¶
postcat - show Postfix queue file contentsSYNOPSIS¶
postcat [-bdehnoqv] [-c config_dir] [files...]
DESCRIPTION¶
The postcat(1) command prints the contents of the named files in human-readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file format. If no files are specified on the command line, the program reads from standard input.
- -b
- Show body content. The -b option starts producing
output at the first non-header line, and stops when the end of the message
is reached.
- -c config_dir
- The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory.
- -d
- Print the decimal type of each record.
- -e
- Show message envelope content.
- -h
- Show message header content. The -h option produces
output from the beginning of the message up to, but not including, the
first non-header line.
- -o
- Print the queue file offset of each record.
- -q
- Search the Postfix queue for the named files instead
of taking the names literally.
- -v
- Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the software increasingly verbose.
