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.
