21.SH DESCRIPTION
22The \fIrcvpack\fR program will append a copy of the message to the file
23listed on its command line.
24
25If the `-mbox' switch is given (the default), then the messages are
26separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters.  This is the format used
27by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
28 
29If the `-mmdf' switch is given, then the messages are separated by
30mmdf style delimiters.  Each message in the file is separated by four
31CTRL\-A's and a newline.
32
33\fIrcvpack\fR will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize
34access to the file, when running multiple copies of \fIrcvpack\fR.
35
36In general, its use is obsoleted by the \*(lqfile\*(rq action of
37\fIslocal\fR, although it might still have occasional uses in various
38shell scripts.
