NAME

       canlock-mhp - CLI frontend for libcanlock library

SYNOPSIS

       canlock-mhp -h | -v

       canlock-mhp -f fieldname

DESCRIPTION

       Message Header Parser (mhp) for RFC5536 conformant Netnews articles.

       The name of a single header field must be specified with the -f option.

       The  message  in  canonical  format  (with  US-ASCII encoded CRLF line breaks) is read from stdin. If the
       message is in some local format (e.g. EBCDIC encoded or with LF line breaks), ist must  be  converted  to
       canonical format before it can be used as input.

       The  input data may be a naked header without message body, but the empty line separater after the header
       must always be present.  The syntax of the extracted header field is not checked beyond the folding.  The
       rest  of  the message need not be fully RFC5536 conformant too, as long as all header fields start on new
       lines (and are correctly folded, so that  there  is  no  ambiguity).  Common  syntax  errors  (like  8bit
       characters in the header) are ignored.

       If the specified header field is found, it is extracted, unfolded and printed to stdout (without trailing
       line break).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -f fieldname             Specify the header field name to search for (without the colon).

       -h                       Print help message, then exit.

       -v                       Print version and compile time options, then exit.

EXIT STATUS

       Zero on success or regular exit respectively.
       All other values indicate an error.
