💖 GUIMB(1) — the guimb glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the guimb page from the User Commands manual, section 1. grab a boba, we're doing Scheme on mailboxes 💅

✨ NAME ✨

guimb — apply a scheme function to each message in mailboxes 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

guimb [OPTIONS] [MAILBOX [MAILBOX...]]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

guimb — apply a scheme function to each message in mailboxes. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she walks your mailboxes and does the Scheme thing to every single message. iconic behavior, no cap ✨

🎀 the options that STOP argument processing 🎀

these ones are the dramatic ones: they stop argument processing, and the remaining arguments get handed off to the guimb-getopt function — but only if it's defined in the module. if it's not defined... nothing happens with them, bestie. iykyk.

  • -c, --code=EXPR — execute the given Scheme expression
  • -s, --source=MODNAME — load Scheme module MODNAME

🫶 the options that DON'T stop argument processing 🫶

same energy, same effect, but they're lowkey polite about it — they do not affect further options parsing. so the party keeps going 💃

  • -e, --expression=EXPR — execute the given Scheme expression
  • -f, --file=MODNAME — load Scheme module MODNAME
so the module you want loaded? she normally lives in a file named MODNAME.scm, somewhere in your %load-path. go find her 🧚

💜 other options 💜

  • -M, --mailbox=NAME — set output mailbox name
  • -u, --user[=NAME] — direct output to the system mailbox of the user NAME (default — current user)
  • -r, --read-only — open mailbox in read-only mode

🌸 script arguments 🌸

  • -g, --guile-arg=ARG — append ARG to the command line passed to script
  • -{ args... -} — append args to the command line passed to script
  • --lparen args... --rparen — likewise (fr fr, same thing, different outfit)

⭐ load path & help & version ⭐

  • -L, --load-path=PATH — append PATH to the beginning of the %load-path
  • -?, --help — give this help list
  • --usage — give a short usage message
  • -V, --version — print program version
heads up bestie: mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. the long option sets the rules, the short option follows them. periodt 💅
