POSTCAT(1)                                                          POSTCAT(1)

<b>NAME</b>
       postcat - show Postfix queue file contents

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>postcat</b> [<b>-bdehnoqv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>] [<i>files</i>...]

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The <a href="postcat.1.html"><b>postcat</b>(1)</a> command prints the contents of the named <i>files</i> in human-
       readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file  for-
       mat.  If  no <i>files</i> are specified on the command line, the program reads
       from standard input.

       By default, <a href="postcat.1.html"><b>postcat</b>(1)</a> shows the envelope and message  content,  as  if
       the  options <b>-beh</b> were specified. To view message content only, specify
       <b>-bh</b> (Postfix 2.7 and later).

       Options:

       <b>-b</b>     Show body content.  The <b>-b</b> option starts producing output at the
              first  non-header line, and stops when the end of the message is
              reached.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.

       <b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
              The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file is in the named directory instead
              of the default configuration directory.

       <b>-d</b>     Print the decimal type of each record.

       <b>-e</b>     Show message envelope content.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.

       <b>-h</b>     Show message header content.  The <b>-h</b> option produces output from
              the beginning of the message up to, but not including, the first
              non-header line.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.

       <b>-o</b>     Print the queue file offset of each record.

       <b>-q</b>     Search  the  Postfix queue for the named <i>files</i> instead of taking
              the names literally.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.

       <b>-v</b>     Enable verbose  logging  for  debugging  purposes.  Multiple  <b>-v</b>
              options make the software increasingly verbose.
