/* NAME
/*	mail_trigger 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	trigger a mail service
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <mail_proto.h>
/*
/*	int	mail_trigger(class, service, request, length)
/*	const char *class;
/*	const char *service;
/*	const char *request;
/*	ssize_t	length;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	mail_trigger() wakes up the specified mail subsystem, by
/*	sending it the specified request.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP class
/*	Name of a class of local transport channel endpoints,
/*	either \fIpublic\fR (accessible by any local user) or
/*	\fIprivate\fR (administrative access only).
/* .IP service
/*	The name of a local transport endpoint within the named class.
/* .IP request
/*	A string. The list of valid requests is service specific.
/* .IP length
/*	The length of the request string.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	The result is -1 in case of problems, 0 otherwise.
/*	Warnings are logged.
/* BUGS
/*	Works with FIFO or UNIX-domain services only.
/*
/*	Should use master.cf to find out what transport to use.
/* SEE ALSO
/*	fifo_trigger(3) trigger a FIFO-based service
/*	unix_trigger(3) trigger a UNIX_domain service
