Decode nmh format files

Usage

/usr/lib/mh/fmtdump [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-version] [-help]

Overview

Fmtdump is a program that parses an nmh format file and produces a pseudo-language listing of the how nmh interprets the file. This is useful when debugging a complicated format file.

The -format string and -form formatfile switches may be used to specify a format string or format file to read. The string is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file. See mh-format(5) for the details.

Files

^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile
^/etc/nmh/scan.default~^The default format file
