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), it 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 separator
       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 8-bit 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).

       If there are multiple header fields with the specified name, the first one is used.

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.
