🦋 mdirs(1) — General Commands Manual — list maildir folders, recursively 🦋

💌 NAME 💌

mdirs — list maildir folders, recursively 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mdirs [-0a] dirs ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so mdirs is your recursive maildir detective: it recursively scans the given dirs for maildir (and maildir++) folders and prints them, separated by newlines. no cap. ✨

If dirs is not present, then it uses the Maildir: value from ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile (if set). yep, it goes looking in your profile. 🫶

To mdirs, a maildir folder is a directory containing the directories cur and new. By the maildir++ convention, nested maildir folder names must begin with .. (this can be disabled using -a.) so cute, so specific. 🎀

The options are as follows:

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -0 — print folders separated by a NUL character. iconic separator behavior, fr fr.
  • -a — traverse into all subfolders, without considering the maildir++ name conventions. it’s giving “go everywhere, ignore the naming rules”. 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • MBLAZE — Directory containing mblaze configuration. (Default: $HOME/.mblaze). your config home base, bestie. 🏠

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

The mdirs utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. slay when it works, sad little beep when it doesn’t. 😭
