Sample formatting files are shown in Example 4-5 and Example 4-6. These are the formatting files used by the interactive command line management utility.

Example 4-5 show_users account formatting file

Username: %username Owner: %owner Group: %group_name Store Type: %store Usage flags: %flags Site-defined: %private Last pwd change: %last_pwd_change Last connect: %last_connect Last disconnect: %last_disconnect Total connect time: %total_connect_dhms Total connections: %total_connections Past block days: %past_block_days Last billing: %last_billing Message count: %message_count{%10u} (%received_messages total message%s received) Quota used: %quota_used_k{%10.2f} Kbyte%s Primary quota: %quota_k{%10.2f} Kbyte%s Overdraft quota: %overdraft_k{%10.2f} Kbyte%s

Example 4-6 show_users message list formatting file

%none{User has no stored messages} %msgr_id{%4u}. Filename: %msgr_filename Received: %msgr_created Size: %msgr_size_k K Flags: %msgr_flags

The formatting field for the %msgr_flags_read substitution string works differently from other substitution strings. The formatting field is interpreted as two strings separated by a vertical bar, | . The first string is that substituted when the message read flag is not set and the second string that when the field is set. For instance, the formatting instructions

Message read: %msgr_flags_read{No|Yes}

produces the output

Message read: No

for a message not marked as read. For a message which is marked as having been read, the output would instead be

Message read: Yes
