-e Test for the presence of mail in the system mailbox. The mailx utility shall write nothing and
exit with a successful return code if there is mail to read.
|
-f Read messages from the file named by the file operand instead of the system mailbox. (See also
folder.) If no file operand is specified, read messages from mbox instead of the system mailbox.
|
-F Record the message in a file named after the first recipient. The name is the login-name portion
of the address found first on the To: line in the mail header. Overrides the record variable, if
set (see Internal Variables in mailx .)
|
-H Write a header summary only.
|
-i Ignore interrupts. (See also ignore.)
|
-n Do not initialize from the system default start-up file. See the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION section.
|
-N Do not write an initial header summary.
|
-s subject
Set the Subject header field to subject. All characters in the subject string shall appear in the
delivered message. The results are unspecified if subject is longer than {LINE_MAX} - 10 bytes or
contains a <newline>.
|
-u user
Read the system mailbox of the login name user. This shall only be successful if the invoking user
has the appropriate privileges to read the system mailbox of that user.
