bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see EXAMPLES below).
The -r option causes bf_tar to remove
inactive log files after the archive has been written
successfully. The default is to leave log files.
The -R option causes bf_tar to remove
inactive log files before the archive is written. This may
reduce chances that the resulting archive is recoverable
should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller
though. The default is to leave log files.
The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.
bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar
Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files
from ~/.bogofilter to
outfile.tar.
bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c >
outfile.tar.gz
Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files
from ~/.bogofilter to
outfile.tar.gz.
bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory
> outfile.tar
Prepend $(pwd)/ or
`pwd`/ if you want to specify an
absolute path instead of a relative path.
This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.
This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.
This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris
systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package
installed (when bogofilter is configured)
so that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
