rcvpack - append message to file


SYNOPSIS

       /usr/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 sep­
       arated 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 serial­
       ize 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.
