  17 .SH DESCRIPTION
  18 .B rcvpack
  19 appends a copy of a message to the file specified
  20 on its command line.
  21 .PP
  22 If the
  23 .B \-mbox
  24 switch is given (the default), messages are separated by
  25 mbox (uucp) style delimiters.  This is the format used
  26 by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
  27 .PP
  28 Alternatively, if the
  29 .B \-mmdf
  30 switch is given, messages are separated by mmdf style
  31 delimiters, each message being separated by four
  32 CTRL\-A's and a newline.
  33 .PP
  34 .B rcvpack
  35 will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize
  36 access when running multiple copies of
  37 .BR rcvpack .
  38 .PP
  39 In general,
  40 .B rcvpack
  41 has been rendered obsolete by the
  42 .B file
  43 action of
  44 .BR slocal ,
  45 although it may still have some use in shell scripts.
