NAME

       queue-pr - incoming mail control for GNATS

SYNOPSIS

       queue-pr  [ -q | --queue ] [ -r | --run ]
                 [ -f filename | --file=filename ]
                 [ -m kbytes | --max-size=kbytes ]
                 [ -d database | --database=database ]
                 [ -h | --help ] [ -V | --version ]

DESCRIPTION

       `queue-pr  -q'  should  run  through  a pipe(2V) via the mail aliases(5) mechanism to automatically place
       incoming bug reports in a queue directory for GNATS.

       Run `queue-pr -r' via cron(8) to periodically empty the GNATS  queue,  filing  new  bug  reports  in  the
       database.

       Always  use  one  of  -q  |  --queue  or  -r | --run (but not both), in each call to queue-pr.  These are
       mutually exclusive functions in order to avoid collisions.

OPTIONS

       -q, --queue
                 Accept standard input as an incoming mail message, placing this  message  in  an  incrementally
                 numbered file in the database subdirectory gnats-queue for future handling.

       -r, --run Redirect files from the database subdirectory gnats-queue to file-pr(8) which files and creates
                 index entries for each.

       -f filename or --file=filename
                 Treat filename as input rather than reading from standard input (used with the --queue option).

       -m kbytes, --max-size=kbytes
                 Do not process messages larger than kbytes kilobytes in size.  Files larger than the limit  are
                 left for human intervention.

       -d database or --database=databasename
                 Used  with  the  --queue  or  --run  options,  use  the database named database rather than the
                 database default or the database specified by the GNATSDB environment variable.

       -h, --help
                 Displays a short usage message.

       -V, --version
                 Displays the queue-pr version number.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to use.  For a  local  database,  it
       contains the name of the database to access.  If GNATSDB is not set, the database named default is used.
