getfilename(1) General Commands Manual getfilename(1)NAME
getfilename - Ask the user to name a file in a given format
SYNOPSIS
getfilename format-name file-name
DESCRIPTION
The getfilename program will ask the user for the name of a file in the specified format, and will copy that file to the file-name given as
the second argument.
If this doesn't sound very useful by itself, you're right. However, this turns out to be all you need in order to add some useful func-
tionality to mailcap-oriented programs such as mailto(1). For example, the following line in a mailcap file allows mailto to help the user
include PostScript in outgoing mail:
application/postscript ; lpr -Pipa %s ; description="Include a Postscript File";compose="getfilename Postscript %s"
SEE ALSO mailto(1), metamail(1)BUGS
This is such a tiny program it might actually be bug-free, but I wouldn't bet on it.
