DESCRIPTION

smuxi-message-buffer is a tool that manages the databases that Smuxi holds chat histories in. Currently, it can convert and dump databases.
Similar to commands like git(1) , smuxi-message-buffer takes a command as the first parameter. These commands can be cat (dumps a JSON representation of the database to standard output) or convert. (changes the database from one format to another) Note that the destination file can be set to "-" or empty in the case of convert, in which case it will export to stdout.
The following options can be used. Some options will depend on what command you're using.
, --debug
Turn on debugging. Debug logs are outputted on the console.
, --help
Show the arguments Smuxi takes.
