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. 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.
