FMTDUMP(8)                                                           [nmh-1.5]                                                          FMTDUMP(8)

NAME

       fmtdump - decode nmh format files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/fmtdump [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       Fmtdump  is  a  program  that parses an nmh format file and produces a pseudo-language listing of the how nmh interprets the file.  This is
       useful when debugging a complicated format file.

       The -format string and -form formatfile switches may be used to specify a format string or format file to read.  The  string  is  simply  a
       format string and the file is simply a format file.  See mh-format(5) for the details.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile          The user profile
       /etc/nmh/scan.default      The default format file

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory

SEE ALSO

       mh-format(5), mh-sequences(8)

CONTEXT

       None

BUGS

       The output may not be useful unless you are familiar with the internals of the mh-format subroutines.

NAME

       ap - parse addresses 822-style

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/ap [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-normalize | -nonormalize] [-width columns] [-version] [-help] addrs ...

DESCRIPTION

       Ap  is a program that parses addresses according to the ARPA Internet standard.  It also understands many non-standard formats.  It is use-
       ful for seeing how nmh will interpret an address.

       The ap program treats each argument as one or more addresses, and prints those addresses out in the official 822-format.  Hence, it is usu-
       ally best to enclose each argument in quotes for the shell.

       To  override  the  output  format  used by ap, the -format string or -format file switches are used.  This permits individual fields of the
       address to be extracted with ease.  The string is simply a format string, and the file is simply a format file.  See mh-format(5)  for  the
       details.

       In addition to the standard escapes, ap also recognizes the following additional escape:

            Escape  Returns  Description
            error   string   A diagnostic if the parse failed

       If the -normalize switch is given, ap will try to track down the official hostname of the address.

       Here is the default format string used by ap:

            %<{error}%{error}: %{text}%|%(putstr(proper{text}))%>

       which says that if an error was detected, print the error, a `:', and the address in error.  Otherwise, output the 822-proper format of the
       address.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile          The user profile
       /etc/nmh/mts.conf          nmh mts configuration file

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       None

SEE ALSO

       dp(8), Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages (RFC-822)

DEFAULTS

       `-format' defaults as described above
       `-normalize'
       `-width' defaults to the width of the terminal

CONTEXT

       None

BUGS

       The argument to the -format switch must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes ap.  Therefore, one must  usually  place
       the argument to this switch inside quotes.
