NAME

     rpload - alpine remote data utility

SYNTAX

     rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize  ]  -t  Type  -l  Local_file  -r
     Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION

     Rpload may be used to  convert  local  Alpine  configuration
     files or address books into remote configurations or address
     books.  It is intended to be used by system  administrators.
     Regular  users  should  normally use the facilities provided
     within Alpine.

     Local_file will usually be  a  user's  alpine  configuration
     file,  and  Remote_folder  is  the IMAP folder which will be
     used (with the help of Alpine's -p, -P, and -x  commands  or
     PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the
     user's remote configuration folder.  A  copy  of  Local_file
     will  be  placed in the folder with the correct header lines
     to satisfy Alpine.

     -f                  Force the load even if the remote folder
                         is  in  the  wrong  format.   This  will
                         delete the contents of the folder so use
                         it carefully.

     -s trimSize         If the number of messages in the  remote
                         folder  is  more  than one plus trimsize
                         (one is for the  header  message),  then
                         messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted
                         until there are only one  plus  trimsize
                         messages  left.   If  this option is not
                         set no trimming will be done.

     -t Type             The possible Types  are  pinerc,  abook,
                         and   sig.   (Sig  is  mostly  obsolete.
                         Literal signatures contained within  the
                         remote pinerc should be used instead.)

     -l Local_file       The file on this system that  is  to  be
                         copied.

     -r Remote_folder    A remote folder name to  be  copied  to.
                         See  the  Alpine  documentation  for the
                         syntax of a  remote  folder  name.   One
                         example is
                         {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
