faxinfo
prints descriptive information on the standard output
about a received facsimile file.
For example:
/var/spool/hylafax/recvq/fax00017.tif:
Sender: +14159657824
Pages: 3
Quality: Normal
Page: North American Letter
Received: 1996:01:19 13:51:02
TimeToRecv: 0:39
SignalRate: 14400 bit/s
DataFormat: 2-D MR
ErrCorrect: No
CallID1: 2152345678
CallID2: 1234
This information is typically included in the notification
mail generated by the
faxrcvd(8)
script when a facsimile is received by HylaFAX.
-n
suppresses the printing of the filename.
-b
strips any leading directory of the filename before printing
-D
prints the actual print strings being used for debug purposes
Formatting shortcuts:
-C delim
Sets the format to a quoted CSV, shortcut to
-S '"%s"' -s ',"' -e '"' -E '\n'
-c delim
Sets the format to a CSV, shortcut to:
-S '%s' -s ',' -e '' -E '\n'
-r
Sets the format to raw values, shortcut to:
-S '' -s '' -e ' -E ''
Raw formating:
-S fmt
used to start each fax, it is passed one parameter, the fax file name
-s fmt
used to start each field, it is passed one parameter, the field name
-e fmt
used to end each field, it is passed one parameter, the field name
-E fmt
used to end each fax, it is passed one parameter, the fax file name
NOTES
The information that
faxinfo
prints is obtained from the tags stored in the
TIFF
image that is written by the HylaFAX software.
If
faxinfo
is presented with an invalid
TIFF
image it may print uninteresting information.
Similarly if a
TIFF
image that was not written by HylaFAX is supplied as an argument
then only partial information may be printed---this is
because HylaFAX stores certain information in private tags that
other
TIFF
writers may not emit.
Use of the raw
fmt
options to allow you to directly control the print format
strings used when formating the output. These format strings are passed directly
to printf, with basic \<char> sequences being interpreted, including \n, \r,
and \t, and can be used to make the faxinfo output conform to specific requirements,
like peculiar CVS, tables, HTML, etc.
The order of the options is important. They are parsed from first to last, so any
later options will override settings of previous ones.
ERRORS
faxinfo
return
0
on success and
1
if the file passed as argument is not valid.
