xlbiff - mailbox message previewer for X

The _x_l_b_i_f_f program lurks in the background, watching your
mailbox file, waiting for new mail. When mail arrives, it
invokes the MH _s_c_a_n(1) command and pops up a window with the
results. Clicking the left mouse button anywhere in this
window makes it go away. The window will also disappear if
iconified or if the mailbox size drops to zero.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
_X_l_b_i_f_f accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
options along with the additional options listed below:
----hhhheeeellllpppp This option indicates that a brief summary of the
allowed options should be printed on standard
output.
----bbbboooottttttttoooommmm This option tells _x_l_b_i_f_f to realize/unrealize() the
output window instead of using XtPopup/down(). This
has the effect of causing the window manager to
reposition the window each time it pops up, and is
useful for when you specify negative Y coordinates,
ie, at the bottom of the screen. Running _x_l_b_i_f_f in
this situation without -bottom would cause new lines
to run off the bottom edge of the screen.
++++bbbboooottttttttoooommmm Opposite of -bottom.
----ffffiiiilllleeee _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
This option specifies the name of the file which
should be monitored. By default, it watches
/usr/spool/mail/_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e, where _u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e is your
login name.
----rrrroooowwwwssss _h_e_i_g_h_t
This option specifies the maximum height, in lines
of text, of the _x_l_b_i_f_f window. The default is 20.
----ccccoooolllluuuummmmnnnnssss _w_i_d_t_h
This option specifies the maximum width, in
characters, of the _x_l_b_i_f_f window. The default is
80.
----rrrreeeesssseeeettttSSSSaaaavvvveeeerrrr
If this option is set, _x_l_b_i_f_f will reset the screen
saver when new mail comes in. This is useful if
you're doing something near your workstation but not

on it.
++++rrrreeeesssseeeettttSSSSaaaavvvveeeerrrr
Opposite of -resetSaver.
----uuuuppppddddaaaatttteeee _s_e_c_o_n_d_s
This option specifies the frequency in seconds at
which _x_l_b_i_f_f should update its display. The default
is 15 seconds.
----vvvvoooolllluuuummmmeeee _p_e_r_c_e_n_t_a_g_e
This option specifies how loud the bell should be
rung when new mail comes in.
The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are
commonly used with _x_l_b_i_f_f:
----ddddiiiissssppppllllaaaayyyy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y
This option specifies the X server to contact.
----ggggeeeeoooommmmeeeettttrrrryyyy +_x+_y
This option specifies the preferred position of the
scan window.
----bbbbgggg _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the
background of the window.
----ffffgggg _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the
foreground of the window.
----xxxxrrrrmmmm _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e_s_t_r_i_n_g
This option specifies a resource string to be used.
This is especially useful for setting resources that
do not have separate command line options.
RRRREEEESSSSOOOOUUUURRRRCCCCEEEESSSS
The application class name is XLbiff. It understands all of
the core resource names and classes as well as:
bbbboooottttttttoooommmm ((((class BBBBoooottttttttoooommmm))))
Same as the ----bbbboooottttttttoooommmm option.
ffffiiiilllleeee ((((class FFFFiiiilllleeee))))
Same as the ----ffffiiiilllleeee option.
ssssccccaaaannnnCCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd ((((class SSSSccccaaaannnnCCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd))))
Specifies a shell command to be executed to list the
contents of mailbox ffffiiiilllleeee. The specified string
value is used as the argument to a _s_y_s_t_e_m(3) call
and may therefore contain i/o redirection. The

command's stdout is used to generate the window.
Internally, the command is generated as
sprintf(buf, scanCommand, file, columns)
so a %s and %d respectively in ssssccccaaaannnnCCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd will
generate the values of ffffiiiilllleeee and ccccoooolllluuuummmmnnnnssss.

_X_l_b_i_f_f provides the following actions for use in event
translations:
ppppooooppppddddoooowwwwnnnn(((())))
This action causes the window to vanish.
eeeexxxxiiiitttt(((()))) This action causes _x_l_b_i_f_f to exit.
The default translations are
