PST2DII(1)

🌸 PST2DII — the manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, you're holding the manual page for pst2dii, one of the libpst Utilities (we're on Version 0.6 around here 💅). Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get you fluent. 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

pst2dii — extract email messages from an MS Outlook .pst file in DII load format 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

pst2dii [-B bates-prefix] [-O dii-output-file] [-V] [-b bates-number]
        [-c bates-color] [-d debug-file] -f ttf-font-file [-h]
        [-o output-directory] pstfilename

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -B bates-prefix — sets the bates prefix string. The bates sequence number gets tacked onto the end of this string, and the whole thing gets printed on every single page. ✨
• -O dii-output-file — the name of the output DII load file. That's the file you're making, bestie. 🎀
• -V — show the program version. And heads up: once this one runs, every option after it is just ignored. It said what it said and it's done. 💀
• -b bates-number — the starting bates sequence number. Default is zero. 🍓
• -c bates-color — font color for the bates stamp on each page, and you write it as 6 hex digits, rrggbb style. Default is ff0000, aka bright red, aka the moment. 🔥
• -d debug-file — name your debug log file here. Little glow-up note: the log file is now an ascii file, not the binary file that previous versions used. we love growth. 🌈
• -f ttf-font-file — name of a true type font file. And bestie, listen: it should be a fixed pitch font. No proportional chaos, okay? 🫶
• -h — show a summary of options. Just like -V, anything after this is ignored. It's the main character and it knows it. 👑
• -o output-directory — specifies the output directory. Warning bestie: the directory must already exist. It will not make it for you, no cap. 😭

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so pst2dii reads the email messages out of an MS Outlook .pst file and produces a DII load file that you can use to import message summaries into a Summation DII system. literally doing the most. 💖

And that DII output file? It contains references to the image and attachment files in the output directory. So the vibe is: the output file knows where its friends live. 🦋
