NAME
       queue-pr - incoming mail control for GNATS

SYNOPSIS
       queue-pr  [ -q | --queue ] [ -r | --run ]
                 [ -f filename | --file=filename ]
                 [ -m kbytes | --max-size=kbytes ]
                 [ -d database | --database=database ]
                 [ -h | --help ] [ -V | --version ]

DESCRIPTION
       `queue-pr -q' should run through a pipe(2V) via the mail aliases(5)
       mechanism to automatically place incoming bug reports in a queue
       directory for GNATS.

       Run `queue-pr -r' via cron(8) to periodically empty the GNATS queue,
       filing new bug reports in the database.

       Always use one of -q | --queue or -r | --run (but not both), in each
       call to queue-pr.  These are mutually exclusive functions in order to
       avoid collisions.

OPTIONS
       -q, --queue
                 Accept standard input as an incoming mail message, placing
                 this message in an incrementally numbered file in the
                 database subdirectory gnats-queue for future handling.

       -r, --run Redirect files from the database subdirectory gnats-queue to
                 file-pr(8) which files and creates index entries for each.

       -f filename or --file=filename
                 Treat filename as input rather than reading from standard
                 input (used with the --queue option).

       -m kbytes, --max-size=kbytes
                 Do not process messages larger than kbytes kilobytes in size.
                 Files larger than the limit are left for human intervention.

       -d database or --database=databasename
                 Used with the --queue or --run options, use the database
                 named database rather than the database default or the
                 database specified by the GNATSDB environment variable.

       -h, --help
                 Displays a short usage message.

       -V, --version
                 Displays the queue-pr version number.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
       use.  For a local database, it contains the name of the database to
       access.  If GNATSDB is not set, the database named default is used.
