RCVPACK(1) [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8) RCVPACK(1)
NAME
rcvpack - append message to file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/freeware/lib/nmh/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.
