\fBpostcat\fR [\fB-oqv\fR] [\fB-c \fIconfig_dir\fR] [\fIfiles\fR...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.ad
.fi
The \fBpostcat\fR(1) command prints the contents of the named
\fIfiles\fR in human-readable form. The files are expected
to be in Postfix queue file format. If no
\fIfiles\fR are specified on the command line, the program
reads from standard input.

Options:
.IP "\fB-c \fIconfig_dir\fR"
The \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file is in the named directory
instead of the default configuration directory.
.IP \fB-o\fR
Print the queue file offset of each record.
.IP \fB-q\fR
Search the Postfix queue for the named \fIfiles\fR instead
of taking the names literally.

Available in Postfix version 2.0 and later.
.IP \fB-v\fR
Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB-v\fR
options make the software increasingly verbose.
