COUNTMAIL(6) |
NAME
countmail — be obnoxious about how much mail you have
DESCRIPTION
The countmail program counts your mail and tells you about it rather obnoxiously.
HISTORY
The countmail program first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
AUTHORS
countmail was first written by
Noah Friedman <
friedman@splode.com> in 1993. This version was written by
Charles M. Hannum <mycroft@NetBSD.org>.
CAVEATS
The read loop is horrendously slow on every shell implementation tried.
countmail uses
from(1) and
wc(1) instead, though these are not shell builtins.
