mail-expire -- program to extract outdated messages from mbox files
SYNOPSIS
mail-expire AGE FILE [FILES...]
DESCRIPTION
mail-expire is a small tool whose only purpose is to help on keeping the size of multiple mailboxes as small as needed (by moving outdated
messages).
The old messages are compressed with gzip and stored in the file with the name <MBOXNAME>.<MONTH>_<YEAR>.gz.
OPTIONS -u If an existing archive file with the expected filename is found, another filename is to be choosen. For example: <MBOXNAME>(NUM-
BER).<MONTH>_<YEAR>.gz.
-t DIR Specify a different target directory for storing expired mailbox files. Default is the current directory.
--delete Drop the old messages. No backup will be made, be careful with this option.

LOCALE-GEN(8) System Manager's Manual LOCALE-GEN(8)NAME
locale-gen -- generates localisation files from templates
SYNOPSIS
locale-gen
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the locale-gen command.
By default, the locale package which provides the base support for localisation of libc-based programs does not contain usable localisation
files for every supported language. This limitation has became necessary because of the substantial size of such files and the large number
of languages supported by libc. As a result, Debian uses a special mechanism where we prepare the actual localisation files on the target
host and distribute only the templates for them.
locale-gen is a program that reads the file /etc/locale.gen and invokes localedef for the chosen localisation profiles. Run locale-gen
after you have modified the /etc/locale.gen file.
FILES
/etc/locale.gen
The main configuration file, which has a simple format: every line that is not empty and does not begin with a # is treated as a locale
definition that is to be built.
SEE ALSO localedef(1), locale(1), locale.gen(5).
