POSTCAT(1)                                                                                        POSTCAT(1)



NAME
       postcat - show Postfix queue file contents

SYNOPSIS
       postcat [-oqv] [-c config_dir] [files...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  postcat(1)  command prints the contents of the named files in human-readable form. The files are
       expected to be in Postfix queue file format. If no files are specified on the command line, the  pro-gram program
       gram reads from standard input.

       Options:

       -c config_dir
              The  main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration
              directory.

       -o     Print the queue file offset of each record.

       -q     Search the Postfix queue for the named files instead of taking the names literally.

              Available in Postfix version 2.0 and later.

       -v     Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the software  increas-ingly increasingly
              ingly verbose.
