16 The
<a href=
"postcat.1.html"><b>postcat
</b>(
1)
</a> command prints the contents of the named
17 <i>files
</i> in human-readable form. The files are expected to be
18 in Postfix queue file format. If no
<i>files
</i> are specified on
19 the command line, the program reads from standard input.
21 By default,
<a href=
"postcat.1.html"><b>postcat

23 sage content only, specify

2.7 and later).
