💌 IMSTORE(1p) — the Internet Message commands era 💌

ok so bestie, this is imstore from the IM (Internet Message) suite, section 1p of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little workhorse" and I'm obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

imstore — store mail/news message to a folder 🗂️💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

imstore [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole thing. no positional args, no drama, just vibes and options. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓: the imstore command gets a mail/new message from the standard input and drops it straight into a folder. that's literally its whole job and it does it flawlessly, no cap.

and the way it files things? the new message being incorporated is assigned the next highest number in the folder. so it just slots in right at the end like the newest member of the squad, no reshuffling, no chaos. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

also super important: this command is provided by IM (Internet Message). so if you were wondering where it came from, that's the origin story. 🧚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per option, every single one, let's goooo 🫶

  • -d, --dst=FOLDER — sets the target folder. the default value is "+inbox", so if you don't say anything, it's going to your inbox like the loyal little bestie it is. 💖
  • -v, --verbose={on,off} — prints verbose messages while it's running. take on or off as the value. if you're nosy (affectionate) and want to see everything happening, turn it on. 🔍
  • --debug=DEBUG_OPTION — prints debug messages while it's running. takes a DEBUG_OPTION value. this is the deep-lore, behind-the-scenes commentary track. 🐛✨
  • -h, --help — displays the help message and exits. your little "wait what does this do again" safety net. 🛟
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. for when you need to know exactly which era of the software you're living in. ⭐
💀 no cap: that's genuinely every option. short list, big impact, main character energy in the smallest possible package.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 this one was written by IM153 and dated 2016-10-10 — so yeah, shoutout to the 2016 era for this absolute gem, she's been holding it down ever since. 🎀✨ bye ily, go store some messages 💜
