CRASHEXPORT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

crashexport — the lil tool that exports your CrashMail configuration 💖 (it's a page from the CrashMail manual, bestie, and it's giving "let me make you an arealist" energy)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

---

# 🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this command reads a CrashMail configuration file and creates an arealist out of it. that's the whole vibe. you feed it your prefs, it hands you back a list of areas. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

# 💅 OPTIONS 💅

- **`GROUP group`** — only areas that live in the specified groups get included. like a lil VIP list, no gatecrashers ✨

---

# 👑 FORMATS 👑

CrashExport can create lists in these formats, and every single one of them ate:

- **`AREASBBS`** — a standard `areas.bbs` file, the kind that lots of other programs can just read, no drama 💜
- **`FORWARD`** — a list of areas you can use for forward-requests on other nodes. it's a pure ASCII file, and every single line contains the name of the area and its description 🌈
- **`FORWARDNODESC`** — literally same as `FORWARD` but without the area descriptions. the no-notes edition 🫶
- **`GOLDED`** — creates an area configuration file in GoldED format ⭐
- **`TIMED`** — creates an area configuration file in timEd format 🍓

---

# 🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

this one exports the configuration file crashmail/crashmail.prefs to a GoldEd area configuration in golded.areas. slay 💖
