REFILE(1m,C) AIX Commands Reference REFILE(1m,C)
The refile command is used to copy and move messages to other files. The
refile command is part of the Message Handling (MH) package and can be used
with MH commands.
The refile command copies messages or moves messages from one folder to another
folder. If a destination folder does not exist, refile asks if it should
create the folder.
FLAGS
-draft Copies the current draft message from your mail directory.
-file file Copies the specified file. The file must be in valid
message format. (Use the inc command to incorporate new
messages and to format them correctly.)
+folder Copies the messages to the specified folder. Any number of
folders can be specified.
-help Displays help information for the command.
-link Leaves the messages in the source folder or file after they
are copied.
-nolink Removes the messages from the source folder or file after
they are copied. This flag is the default.
-nopreserve Renumbers the messages that are copied. Renumbering begins
with the number that is one higher than the last message in
the destination folder. This is the default.
-preserve Preserves the message numbers of the messages that are
copied. If messages with those numbers already exist,
refile issues an error message and does not alter the
contents of the folders.
-src +folder msgs Specifies the messages to be copied. You can use the
following message references when specifying msgs:
num first prev
cur . next
last all sequence
The default message is the current message in the current
folder. If a folder is specified, it becomes the current
folder. If the -link flag and all are used, the current
message does not change. Otherwise, if a message is
specified, that message becomes the current message.
PROFILE ENTRIES
