    POSTCAT(1)                                             POSTCAT(1)

    NAME
           postcat - show Postfix queue file contents

    SYNOPSIS
           postcat [-vq] [-c config_dir] [files...]

    DESCRIPTION
           The postcat 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:

           -c config_dir
                  The main.cf configuration  file  is  in  the  named
                  directory  instead  of  the  default  configuration
                  directory.

           -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. Mul-
                  tiple -v options  make  the  software  increasingly
                  verbose.

    DIAGNOSTICS
