NMSMMP2DLF.IN(1)

💌 NMSMMP2DLF.IN(1) — the glow-up version 💌

okay bestie, so this is page one of the manual, section one — NMSMMP2DLF.IN(1) — and it's literally about one tiny little script called nmsmmp2dlf. she's small. she's mighty. she converts logs. periodt. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nmsmmp2dlf — the icon that converts Netscape Messaging Server MMP log files into the Lire msgstore DLF. that's her whole job. no cap. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nmsmmp2dlf

that's it. no flags, no options, no little arguments to memorize. she takes zero arguments and she's thriving. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: this program reads Netscape Messaging Server Mail Multi Plexor log files from STDIN — those are the ones generated by the IMAP or POP services, iykyk — and then prints the corresponding Lire msgstore DLF out to STDOUT. literally in one end, out the other. 🦋

and she supports these specific fields of the message store schema, bestie, memorize them:

• time
• localserver
• client_ip
• user
• session
• protocol
• prot_cmd
• status

that's the list. the whole list. all of it. 🌸

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

so if you wanna process a log as produced by Netscape Messaging Server, you do this:

$ nmsmmp2dlf < ns-smmp.log

clean. simple. ate. 🔥

now ngl, nmsmmp2dlf will be rarely used on its own — she's lowkey a background character in that sense — but she's way more likely to be called by lr_log2report:

$ lr_log2report nmsmmp < /var/log/ns-smmp.log > report

main character energy via delegation, honestly. 💖

✨ VERSION ✨

$Id: nmsmmp2dlf.in,v 1.10 2006/07/23 13:16:35 vanbaal Exp $

there's the version line, exactly as she is, timestamp and all. ⭐
