STDIN

Syntax

Envariable: N/A
Element: N/A
Command-line Option: -stdin filename

Description

STDIN can be used to specify a file to treat as standard input.

Note, most system shells (Unix) provide the ability to redirect standard input from a file or other process. STDIN is provided where such functionality is not available or easy to achieve.

Default Setting

The default location of standard input, which is usually the terminal.

Resource Variables

N/A

Examples

One way to perform an ADD operation for a single message is something like the following:

    shell> mhonarc -add -outdir /path/to/archive -stdin mesg.822

However, any decent shell would allow:

    shell> mhonarc -add -outdir /path/to/archive < mesg.822
