NAME

6       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to
7       stdout
8

SYNOPSIS

10       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory
11

DESCRIPTION

13       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies
14       it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
15       EXAMPLES below).
16

OPTIONS

18       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the
19       archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
20       files.
21
22       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the
23       archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
24       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller
25       though. The default is to leave log files.
26

EXIT STATUS

28       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and
29       nonzero if it encountered trouble.
30

EXAMPLES

32       ·   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar
33
34           Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from
35           ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.
36
37       ·   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz
38
39           Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from
40           ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.
41
42       ·   bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar
43
44           Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path
45           instead of a relative path.

NOTES

48       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter
49       versions.
50
51       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.
52
53       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should
54       have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
55       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
