NAME

       faxinfo - print information about a received facsimile

SYNOPSIS

       Basic usage:

       /usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -b ] [ -n ] [ -D ] file.tif [ file2.tif [...] ]

       Formatting shortcuts:

       /usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -C delim | -c delim | -r ] file.tif [ file2.tif ] ]

       Raw formatting:

       /usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -S fmt ] [ -s fmt ] [ -e fmt ] [ -E fmt ] file.tif [ file2.tif ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxinfo prints descriptive information on the standard output about a received facsimile file.  For example:

	      /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/fax00017.tif:
		  Sender: +14159657824
		   Pages: 3
		 Quality: Normal
		    Page: North American Letter
		Received: 1996:01:19 13:51:02
	      TimeToRecv: 0:39
	      SignalRate: 14400 bit/s
	      DataFormat: 2-D MR
	      ErrCorrect: No
		 CallID1: 2152345678
		 CallID2: 1234

       This information is typically included in the notification mail generated by the faxrcvd(8) script when a facsimile is received by HylaFAX.

       -n     suppresses the printing of the filename.

       -b     strips any leading directory of the filename before printing

       -D     prints the actual print strings being used for debug purposes

       Formatting shortcuts:

       -C delim
	      Sets the format to a quoted CSV, shortcut to
	      -S '"%s"' -s ',"' -e '"' -E '
'

       -c delim
	      Sets the format to a CSV, shortcut to:
	      -S '%s' -s ',' -e '' -E '
'

       -r     Sets the format to raw values, shortcut to:
	      -S '' -s '' -e '0 -E ''

       Raw formating:

       -S fmt used to start each fax, it is passed one parameter, the fax file name

       -s fmt used to start each field, it is passed one parameter, the field name

       -e fmt used to end each field, it is passed one parameter, the field name

       -E fmt used to end each fax, it is passed one parameter, the fax file name

NOTES

       The information that faxinfo prints is obtained from the tags stored in the TIFF image that is written by the HylaFAX software.	If faxinfo
       is presented with an invalid TIFF image it may print uninteresting information.	Similarly if a TIFF image that was not written by  HylaFAX
       is supplied as an argument then only partial information may be printed--this is because HylaFAX stores certain information in private tags
       that other TIFF writers may not emit.

       Use of the raw fmt options to allow you to directly control the print format strings used when formating the output.  These format  strings
       are  passed  directly to printf, with basic <char> sequences being interpreted, including 
, 
, and 	, and can be used to make the fax-
       info output conform to specific requirements, like peculiar CVS, tables, HTML, etc.

       The order of the options is important.  They are parsed from first to last, so any later options will override settings of previous ones.

ERRORS

       faxinfo return 0 on success and 1 if the file passed as argument is not valid.
