💖 IMALI(1p) — Internet Message commands 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the imali era. this is the IMALI(1p) manual page from the Internet Message commands corner of the universe, and we're gonna read it together like it's a group chat. grab a strawberry 🍓, sit down, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

imali — the icon that shows you the aliases for a mail/news address. literally its whole job. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imali [OPTIONS] [TARGETS...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: the imali command goes looking through the alias files you named, checking for each one of the aliases you asked about. then it builds up a whole list of addresses for those aliases and writes that list straight to standard output. like, it's giving matchmaker. 💅

and if you don't pass any targets at all? no worries bestie, it just displays all the aliases. every single one. main character energy.

this command is provided by IM (Internet Message). yep, that's the whole family. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -H, --host={on,off} — lookup the hosts alias file. turn it on or off, your call.
  • -f, --file=FILE — use FILE as the alias file. the default value is ~/.im/Aliases. that's the one it reaches for if you don't say otherwise.
  • -a, --addrbook=FILE — use FILE as the addrbook file. default value is ~/.im/Addrbook. again, that's the fallback bestie.
  • -v, --verbose={on,off} — print verbose messages while it's running. on or off, pick your fighter.
  • --debug=DEBUG_OPTION — print debug messages while it's running. for when you need the receipts. 🔥
  • -h, --help — display the help message and exit. so polite.
  • --version — output version information and exit. quick lil flex. 👑
