BF_COPY(1)

💖 bf_copy — bestie's guide to cloning ur bogofilter folder 💖

okay so this is a page from the Bogofilter Reference Manual, section 1 (that's the "user commands" shelf, iykyk) ✨ and it's literally all about bf_copy, a lil shell script that goes copy 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bf_copy — a shell script that copies a bogofilter working directory, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bf_copy [-c] source_dir destination_dir

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: bf_copy copies a bogofilter working directory into another directory. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

rn it copies these three things:

• the database files, aka *.db 📁
• the related files, aka log.* 📝
• DB_CONFIG — but only if it's actually there, so don't come for me if it's missing 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -c — this one makes it copy only the active log files, not every single one. without it? default behaviour is to copy all the log files. so -c is the picky-eater option 🍓

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

the script dips out with status code 0 when everything went great ✨, and nonzero when it ran into trouble 😭. that's it, that's the whole check.

💀 BUGS 💀

heads up bestie, this is a real one: the script just assumes every single *.db file in the source directory is relevant and copies all of them. that might not actually match your configuration, fr fr. so double check before u trust it 👑

🌈 NOTES 🌈

• this script is meant to be used with Berkeley DB and SQLite based bogofilter versions 🧚
• it also expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. so if ur on Solaris, u should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (back when bogofilter is configured) so that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used. yes that's the whole path, don't @ me 🌸
