smd-client(1)

smd-client1

Receives diffs and performs actions

Usage

smd-client [{-v | --verbose}] [{-d | --dry-run}] [{-t | --translator}] [{-l | --local-sync}] [--rename-only] [--override-db dbf] endpoint mailboxes

Overview

smd-client needs to know a name (endpoint) for the client (that must not be used by others) and a list of mailboxes (directories).

smd-client waits on stdin a mail dir diff. It attempts to execute these actions, eventually asking data printing commands on stdout and expecting the data on stdin.

Options

-t --translator

Specify a program to translate remote mailbox names to local ones. Note that the translator 'cat' (the identity program) is optimized away

-l --local-sync

Local synchronization, no changes is made to the db-file since smd-server takes care of it

--rename-only

Do not synchronize the mailboxes but generate the script '~/smd-rename.sh' to uniform the files names in the mailbox

--override-db dbf

Use dbf as the db-file

-v --verbose

Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)

-d --dry-run

Do not perform any action for real

Notes

smd-client is a low level utility. You should use higher level tools like smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1)
