   mailx.1p    ( 1 )

обрабатывать сообщения (process messages)

Выходные файлы (Output files)

Various mailx commands and command escapes can create or add to files, including the mbox, the dead-letter file, and secondary mailboxes. When mailx is used as described in this volume of POSIX.1‐2017, these files shall be text files, formatted as follows:

line beginning with From<space> [one or more header-lines; see Commands in mailx] empty line [zero or more body lines empty line] [line beginning with From<space>...]

where each message begins with the From <space> line shown, preceded by the beginning of the file or an empty line. (The From <space> line is considered to be part of the message header, but not one of the header-lines referred to in Commands in mailx; thus, it shall not be affected by the discard, ignore, or retain commands.) The formats of the remainder of the From <space> line and any additional header lines are unspecified, except that none shall be empty. The format of a message body line is also unspecified, except that no line following an empty line shall start with From <space>; mailx shall modify any such user-entered message body lines (following an empty line and beginning with From <space>) by adding one or more characters to precede the 'F'; it may add these characters to From <space> lines that are not preceded by an empty line.

When a message from the system mailbox or entered by the user is not a text file, it is implementation-defined how such a message is stored in files written by mailx.
