BF_COMPACT(1)

💖 BF_COMPACT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the bogofilter corner of the manual pages, straight out of the Bogofilter Reference Manual ✨ this one's about bf_compact, and yes it's iconic, let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

bf_compact — a shell script that compacts your bogofilter directory, fr fr 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bf_compact bogofilter_directory [wordlist_name...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe of bf_compact is: it makes a more compact bogofilter working directory by doing a whole dump/load cycle 🔄 and while it's at it, it renames the previous bogofilter_directory to bogofilter_directory.old. glow-up AND a rebrand, we love to see it 😌

🚨 Note: bf_compact literally cannot be used to process the current working directory, ., because you can't rename that. it's giving "sorry bestie, the rules are the rules" 🙈

If you don't hand it any wordlist_file arguments, then bf_compact will use the configured set of wordlists — but only if the bogofilter_directory you gave it is the same as the configured one. If it's a different directory, then it just uses all *.db files instead. different dir, different rules, periodt ✨

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble. simple as that 💖

💀 NOTES 💀

⚠️ bestie, READ THIS. This script will delete bogofilter_directory.old and all of its contents! not a drill, not a vibe, it's just gone 😭

This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. So on Solaris systems, you should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used. iykyk 🧚
