smd-client(1) Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation smd-client(1)

smd-client - receives diffs and performs actions 

smd-client [-v|--verbose] [-d|--dry-run] [-t|--translator]
      [-l|--local-sync] [--rename-only]
      [--override-db dbf] endpoint mailboxes

smd-client needs to know a name (endpoint) for the client (that must not be used by others) and a list of mailboxes (directories).

smd-client waits on stdin a mail dir diff. It attempts to execute these actions, eventually asking data printing commands on stdout and expecting the data on stdin.

Specify a program to translate remote mailbox names to local ones. Note that the translator 'cat' (the identity program) is optimized away
Local synchronization, no changes is made to the db-file since smd-server takes care of it
Do not synchronize the mailboxes but generate the script '~/smd-rename.sh' to uniform the files names in the mailbox
Use dbf as the db-file
Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)
Do not perform any action for real

smd-client is a low level utility. You should use higher level tools like smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1)

mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-pull(1), smd-push(1)
