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