NAME¶
countmail —
be obnoxious about how much
mail you have
SYNOPSIS¶
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.
SEE ALSO¶
from(1)
