Bug#440218: better proclint man page



Package: procmail-lib
Version: 1:2004.1216-1
Severity: minor

Here is a better proclint man page. Sorry it is in plain text format,
not nroff. (I perhaps should have first used help2man, but instead
wrote this by hand. I could have then also used txt2man, if it weren't
for bug 440214.)

PROCLINT(1)                                                        PROCLINT(1)

NAME
       proclint - a lint for procmailrc

SYNOPSIS
       proclint [-options] [rcfiles ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Check procmail rc files for proper syntax, recipe nesting, etc.

OPTIONS
       (default are marked with '*'):
       -list         List lines in the procmail recipe files.
       -nolist*      Do not list lines, except for errors.
       -includerc    Scan and possibly list files included with INCLUDERC
       -noinclude*   Do not scan INCLUDERC references
       -procmailrc   Check $HOME/.procmailrc
       -help         Print help message

       Note that -procmailrc and/or rcfiles must be given.

OUTPUT
       The output consists of: 'LINE-NUMBER:FLAG:DEPTH: text'.
       FLAG is one of:
	   'R'         recipe
	   'C'         condition
	   'A'         action (redirect, '!', or pipe, '|')
	   'F'         folder
	   '='         assignment
	   '+'         continuation
	   'E'         *line may be erroneous*
       DEPTH indicates the depth of the recipe nesting and is shown only
       when greater than zero.

BUGS
       There are many bugs. Please regard the output as advisory.
