getmap -- Command

De-archive Usenet map articles
/usr/lib/mail/getmap [-b batchfile] [-m mapdir] [-n newsgroup]          [-u
username] [-w workdir]

The script getmap de-archives Usenet map articles.  The articles must be in
the form  of a shell archive (or ``shar''  file).  De-archived articles are
copied into directory /usr/spool/uumaps.

getmap recognizes the following command-line arguments:

-b batch
     De-archive batch, which is a shell archive of file names.  If batch is
     `-', getmap  reads the standard input.  By  default, getmap reads file
     /usr/spool/uumaps/work/batch.

-m mapdir
     Copy  articles   into  mapdir,   instead  of  the   default  directory
     /usr/spool/uumaps.

-n newsgroups
     Read articles from newsgroup.

-u user
     Mail errors  to user.  If user  is `-', write  errors to  the standard
     output.  By default, getmap mails errors to user postmaster.

-w workdir
     Keep logs and batch files in workdir. By default, logs and batch files
     are kept in directory /usr/spool/uumaps/work.
