💌 IMHIST(1p) — Internet Message commands

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about imhist 💖 this lil angel is part of the IM fam — that's Internet Message — and it lives in the Internet Message commands section of the manual. she's here to handle your mail/news history database. yes, that database. the one holding receipts on all your messages. she's giving backstage-pass energy and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

imhist [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no files, no drama, just options. 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. the imhist command handles the mail/news history database. that's her whole job. she looks things up, she removes things, she adds things — database management but make it cute. 💅

and just so we're clear: this command is provided by IM (Internet Message). iconic of them, fr fr. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per option, no skipping, we do NOT gatekeep here. 🌈

  • -l, --lookup=STRING — bestie wants to know if this message-id is in the database? this looks up the entry for the message-id you specify. detective mode activated 🔍
  • -r, --remove=STRING — nukes the whole information on the message-id you specify. all of it. gone. periodt. 💀
  • -m, --msg=STRING — tells it which message should be deleted in case there are multiple in the database. gotta be specific, queen 🎯
  • -d, --dump={on,off} — dumps the database. and this is just for debugging, okay? it's a debug thing, not a lifestyle. 🙈
  • -a, --add=FOLDER — adds the information of the messages sitting in the folder you specify. feeding the database, feeding the girls 🍓
  • -s, --subfolders={on,off} — descends into sub folders recursively. heads up: this one is an option for --add, so she rides along with add, she doesn't solo. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose={on,off} — prints verbose messages while running, so you actually see what's going on instead of just trusting the process ✨
  • --debug=DEBUG_OPTION — prints debug messages while running. pass it whatever DEBUG_OPTION you need 💜
  • -h, --help — displays the help message and dips. exit stage left 🫶
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. know your queen's era 😭
