canlock-mhp - CLI frontend for libcanlock library

       Michael Baeuerle

       Message Header Parser (mhp) for RFC5536 conformant Netnews articles.

       The name of a single header field must be specified with the -f option.

       The  message  in  canonical  format  (with  US-ASCII encoded CRLF line breaks) is read from stdin. If the
       message is in some local format (e.g. EBCDIC encoded or with LF line breaks), it  must  be  converted  to
       canonical format before it can be used as input.

       The  input data may be a naked header without message body, but the empty line separator after the header
       must always be present.  The syntax of the extracted header field is not checked beyond the folding.  The
       rest of the message need not be fully RFC5536 conformant too, as long as all header fields start  on  new
       lines  (and  are  correctly  folded,  so  that  there  is no ambiguity). Common syntax errors (like 8-bit
       characters in the header) are ignored.

       If the specified header field is found, it is extracted, unfolded and printed to stdout (without trailing
       line break).

       If there are multiple header fields with the specified name, the first one is used.

       Zero on success or regular exit respectively.
       All other values indicate an error.
