Defaults to "readpst.log". The log +file isn\'t an ascii file, it is a binary file readable by \fBreadpstlog\fP. +.TP +.B \-h +Show summary of options. +.TP +.B \-k +Changes the output format to KMail. +.TP +.B \-o +Specifies the output directory. The directory must already exist, and +is entered after the PST file is opened, but before any processing of +files commences. +.TP +.B \-q +Changes to silent mode. No feedback is printed to the screen, except +for error messages. +.TP +.B \-r +Changes the output format to Recursive. This will create folders as +named in the PST file, and will put all emails in a file called "mbox" +inside each folder. These files are then compatible with all +mbox\-compatible email clients. +.TP +.B \-S +Output messages into seperate files. This will create folders as +named in the PST file, and will put each email in its own file. These +files will be numbered from 000000000 increasing in intervals of 1 (ie +000000000, 000000001, 0000000002). Any attachments are saved alongside +each email as 000000000\-attach0, or with the name of the attachment if +one is present. +.TP +.B \-V +Show version of program. +.TP +.B \-w +Overwrite any previous output files. \fBBeware\fP: When used with the \-S +switch, this will remove all files from the target folder before +writing. This is to keep the count of emails and attachments correct. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR readpstlog (1) +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Dave Smith <dave.s@earthcorp.com>, and updated +by Joe Nahmias <joe@nahmias.net> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be +used by others).
