# postcat - Unix, Linux Command

# NAME

postcat - show Postfix queue file contents

# SYNOPSIS

    postcat [-oqv] [-c config_dir] [files...]

# DESCRIPTION

The postcat(1) command prints the contents of the named files in human-readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file format. If no files are specified on the command line, the program reads from standard input.

Options:

Tag | Description
--- | ---
-c config_dir | The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory.
-o | Print the queue file offset of each record.
-q | Search the Postfix queue for the named files instead of taking the names literally. Available in Postfix version 2.0 and later.
-v | Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the software increasingly verbose.
