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 in‐
       coming 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  data‐
       base.

       Always use one of -q | --queue or -r | --run (but not both), in each call to queue-pr.  These are mutual‐
       ly 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 data‐
                 base 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.
