acat - Dump an abuse report stored with Mail::Abuse::Processor::Store.pm

SYNOPSIS

acat [-h] [-a] [-r] [-i] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

acat ("abuse cat") dumps to its standard output the data stored in a Mail::Abuse::Report object that was stored with Mail::Abuse::Processor::Store.

The format of the dump is controlled by the command line flags, as follows:

-h

-a

This option causes all the information fields to be dumped.

-i

Dump all the incidents parsed from the original report.

-r

Dump the original abuse report, as was received. This is the default.

-d
