8
9<b>NAME</b>
10       postcat - show Postfix queue file contents
11
12<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
13       <b>postcat</b> [<b>-bdehnoqv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>] [<i>files</i>...]
14
15<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
16       The  <a href="postcat.1.html"><b>postcat</b>(1)</a>  command  prints  the  contents  of  the named <i>files</i> in
17       human-readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file
18       format.  If  no  <i>files</i>  are  specified on the command line, the program
19       reads from standard input.
20
21       By default, <a href="postcat.1.html"><b>postcat</b>(1)</a> shows the envelope and message  content,  as  if
22       the  options <b>-beh</b> were specified. To view message content only, specify
23       <b>-bh</b> (Postfix 2.7 and later).
24
25       Options:
26
27       <b>-b</b>     Show body content.  The <b>-b</b> option starts producing output at the
28              first  non-header line, and stops when the end of the message is
29              reached.
30
31              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
32
33       <b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
34              The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file is in the named directory instead
35              of the default configuration directory.
36
37       <b>-d</b>     Print the decimal type of each record.
38
39       <b>-e</b>     Show message envelope content.
40
41              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
42
43       <b>-h</b>     Show message header content.  The <b>-h</b> option produces output from
44              the beginning of the message up to, but not including, the first
45              non-header line.
46
47              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
48
49       <b>-o</b>     Print the queue file offset of each record.
50
51       <b>-q</b>     Search  the  Postfix queue for the named <i>files</i> instead of taking
52              the names literally.
53
54              This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
55
56       <b>-r</b>     Print records in file order, don't follow pointer records.
57
58              This feature is available in Postfix 3.7 and later.
59
60       <b>-s</b> <i>offset</i>
61              Skip to the specified queue file offset.
62
63              This feature is available in Postfix 3.7 and later.
64
65       <b>-v</b>     Enable verbose  logging  for  debugging  purposes.  Multiple  <b>-v</b>
66              options make the software increasingly verbose.
