mail2sms(5)mail2sms(5)NAMEmail2sms - reads a (MIME) mail and converts it to a short message.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/etc/mail2sms.conf
~/.mail2sms
DESCRIPTIONmail2sms offers search and replace, conditional rules, conditional
search and replace etc to create a custom output. It can optionally
pipe its output into a specified program.
All this is controlled with the config file, which this man page intend
to describe.
The config file contains a series of control commands. Each entry has
the form:
keyword [ : value ]
keyword This is the command that sets or control a certain
item or the flow of the config file starting from
here.
value This parameter depends on the command. It may also
be left out depending on the command.
Values are either written plainly and whitespaces left and right of the
words are cut off, or within quotes ("). If the value is quoted, you
must escape quotes to be able to have them in the string, as in: " \"
".
Fields should be separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters
and a colon (:).
The available commands are of a few different kinds, and therefore this
description has a few different sections that describe the commands in
each section.
A `#' (number sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up
to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which parses the
file.
Basically, there are two kinds of keywords. The first is the one read
and dealt with in real-time when read, they may also build strings that
define output format, command to run etc.. The other type is the key‐
words that build a tree of regular expressions with accompanying
actions. It is important to understand the difference.
General Keywords
Left to write. See the README for now.
