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 program 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. Mul-
              tiple -v options  make  the  software  increasingly
              verbose.
