💖 imls(1p) — Internet Message commands 💖

okay bestie, so imls is from the Internet Message commands fam (that's the manual section 1p, iykyk) and she's here to spill the entire contents of a folder, one message per line, no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

imls — list up the contents of the folder. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it beautifully. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imls [OPTIONS] [FOLDER] [RANGE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the imls command produces a one line per message listing of the folder you asked for — or of mail/news messages, whichever vibe you're on. literally just a cute lil lineup of your messages, one per line. 🌈

and bestie, important lore: this command is provided by IM (Internet Message). periodt. 💖

so many options, so little time. let's go one by one, no skipping, we're thorough in this house. 💅

  • -s, --src=FOLDER,FOLDER... — folder name, bestie. default value is +inbox. and heads up: --src=+xxx is exactly equivalent to just +xxx. 🌸
  • -f, --form=STRING — the scan format. default value is "%+5n %m%d %-14A %S || %b". yes, exactly like that, copy it character for character, don't freestyle. 💖
