FAXINFO(8C)FAXINFO(8C)NAMEfaxinfo - print information about a received facsimile
SYNOPSIS
Basic usage:
/usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -b ] [ -n ] [ -D ] file.tif [ file2.tif [...] ]
Formatting shortcuts:
/usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -C delim | -c delim | -r ] file.tif [ file2.tif ] ]
Raw formatting:
/usr/sbin/faxinfo [ -S fmt ] [ -s fmt ] [ -e fmt ] [ -E fmt ] file.tif
[ file2.tif ] ]
DESCRIPTIONfaxinfo prints descriptive information on the standard output about a
received facsimile file. For example:
/var/spool/fax/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 gener‐
ated by the faxrcvd(8C) 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 '0 -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 infor‐
mation. 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 fax‐
info 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.
ERRORSfaxinfo return 0 on success and 1 if the file passed as argument is not
valid.
