7.1.1 Operation Modifiers

‘--compact’

Compact database (see compaction). By default, ‘cache’ database is compacted. To specify another database, use ‘--format’ option (see –format). Full database name can be given in the command line (see ‘--file’ option below), if it differs from the one specified in the script file.

Use with the option ‘--all’ (see –all) to compact all databases.

This option implies ‘--stderr’ (see –stderr).

‘--daemon’

Run in daemon mode (default).

‘--delete’

Delete given entries from the database (see deleting from databases). By default, ‘cache’ database is assumed. To specify another database, use ‘--format’ option (see –format).

This option implies ‘--stderr’ (see –stderr).

‘--expire’

Delete all expired entries from the database (see section Database Maintenance). By default, ‘cache’ database is assumed. To specify another database, use ‘--format’ option (see –format). Full database name can be given in the command line (see ‘--file’ option below), if it differs from the one specified in the script file.

Use with the option ‘--all’ (see –all) to expire all databases.

This option implies ‘--stderr’ (see –stderr).

‘-f filename’

‘--file=filename’

Set the name of the database to operate upon (for ‘--compact’, ‘--delete’, ‘--expire’, and ‘--list’ options). Useful if, for some reason, you need to operate on a database whose file name does not match the one mailfromd is configured to use.

‘--list’

List the database. By default, ‘cache’ database is assumed. To list another database, use ‘--format’ option (see –format).

This option implies ‘--stderr’ (see –stderr).

See section Basic Database Operations.

‘--run[=start]’

Load the script named in the command line and execute the function named start, or ‘main’, if start is not given. See section Run Mode, for a detailed description of this feature.

‘--show-defaults’

Show compilation defaults. See section Databases.

‘-t[state]’

‘--test[=state]’

Run in test mode. See section Testing Filter Scripts. Default state is ‘envfrom’. This option implies ‘--stderr’ (see –stderr).
