Attachment Name (-AN or -ATTNAME)
The Attachment Name adapter command (-AN or -ATTNAME) specifies that the
name of the attachment should be returned together with the attachment itself.
This command can only be used on input. It results in the name of the attachment
being returned as a header to the data.
-ATTNAME fieldname
Option Description
fieldname
Specify the name of the header field that should be
returned in the header.
For example, to specify myfield as the name of the header field that should be
returned in the header:
-ATTNAME myfield
When used with the
–HDR option, the attachment name becomes another header
field. For example:
From: Ringo Starr <[e-mail]>
Subject: Attachment test
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 10:13:36 -0500
To: [e-mail]
X-Attachment-Name: myday.txt
Breakfast
Kids to school
Go to work
The option takes an optional parameter that is the name of the attachment name
field. This is provided for two reasons:
♦ To offer a solution in the event that X-Attachment-Name appears in the
data, which would cause distinguishability problems during validation
♦ To provide a means to offer a user-defined field name that may be more suited
to the context of its use than the default name
Audit (-A or -AUDIT)
Use the Audit adapter command (-A or -AUDIT) to produce a log file in the map
directory where the adapters are installed with the default name m4email.log.
