✨ CYR_SYNCLOG(8) ✨

okay so bestie, this is the cyr_synclog page from the Cyrus IMAP manual (section 8, system admin commands, iykyk) — and it's literally just a lil log-writing gremlin 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

cyr_synclog — Cyrus IMAP documentation

it appends a value to the log file. you can either hand it a log type plus a value, or you can just yeet it a whole entire log line. your call, main character 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cyr_synclog [ -C config-file ] [ -{type} value ]
cyr_synclog [ -C config-file ] "<raw-log-line>"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so cyr_synclog is used to append a value to the log file. You can either specify the log type and value, or an entire log line. pick your fighter ✨

if you run it with no options at all, it just prints a short usage document at you. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💀

and ngl, cyr_synclog reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file, unless you tell it otherwise with -C. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -C config-file — use the config file you named in config-file instead of the default imapd.conf(5). not me letting you pick a different one, iconic.
  • -u, --user user
  • -U, --unuser unuser
  • -v, --sieve sieve
  • -m, --mailbox mailbox
  • -M, --unmailbox unmailbox
  • -a, --append append
  • -c, --acl acl
  • -q, --quota quota
  • -n, --annotation annotation
  • -s, --seen seen
  • -b, --subscription subscription

(yes bestie, that's the whole list, they're just vibes ✨)
