NAME
rpload - alpine remote data utility

SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Alpine configuration files or address books into
remote configurations or address books. It is intended to be used by system administra-
tors. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.

Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the
IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of Alpine's -p, -P, and -x commands or
PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration
folder. A copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines
to satisfy Alpine.

-f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This
will delete the contents of the folder so use it carefully.

-s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus
trimsize (one is for the header message), then messages 2, 3, and so
on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages
left. If this option is not set no trimming will be done.

-t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obso-
lete. Literal signatures contained within the remote pinerc should be
used instead.)

-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied.

-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Alpine documentation
for the syntax of a remote folder name. One example is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
