30 [-a "Header: Contents"] file
31 -m [ type ] [-o file] [-e encoding] [-a "Header: Contents"] file
32 -j [-o file] file1 file2
35 file: filename - read or write from filename
36 - - read or write from stdin or stdout
37 &n - read or write from file descriptor n
38 \( opts \) - read from child process, that generates [ opts ]
41 -c type - create a new MIME section from "file" with this
42 Content-Type: (default is application/octet-stream).
43 -C charset - MIME charset of a new text/plain section.
44 -N name - MIME content name of the new mime section.
45 -m [ type ] - create a multipart mime section from "file" of this
46 Content-Type: (default is multipart/mixed).
47 -e encoding - use the given encoding (7bit, 8bit, quoted-printable,
48 or base64), instead of guessing. Omit "-e" and use
49 -c auto to set Content-Type: to text/plain or
50 application/octet-stream based on picked encoding.
51 -j file1 file2 - join mime section file2 to multipart section file1.
52 -o file - write the result to file, instead of stdout (not
53 allowed in child processes).
54 -a header - prepend an additional header to the output.
56 @file - read all of the above options from file, one option or
58 {which version of makemime is this? What do we support?}
62 * -c TYPE: create a (non-multipart) MIME section with Content-Type: TYPE
63 * makemime -c TYPE [-e ENCODING] [-o OUTFILE] [-C CHARSET] [-N NAME] [-a HEADER...] FILE
64 * The -C option sets the MIME charset attribute for text/plain content.
65 * The -N option sets the name attribute for Content-Type:
66 * Encoding must be one of the following: 7bit, 8bit, quoted-printable, or base64.
68 * -m multipart/TYPE: create a multipart MIME collection with Content-Type: multipart/TYPE
69 * makemime -m multipart/TYPE [-e ENCODING] [-o OUTFILE] [-a HEADER...] FILE
70 * Type must be either "multipart/mixed", "multipart/alternative", or some other MIME multipart content type.
71 * Additionally, encoding can only be "7bit" or "8bit", and will default to "8bit" if not specified.
72 * Finally, filename must be a MIME-formatted section, NOT a regular file.
73 * The -m option creates an initial multipart MIME collection, that contains only one MIME section, taken from filename.
74 * The collection is written to standard output, or the pipe or to outputfile.
76 * -j FILE1: add a section to a multipart MIME collection
77 * makemime -j FILE1 [-o OUTFILE] FILE2
78 * FILE1 must be a MIME collection that was previously created by the -m option.
79 * FILE2 must be a MIME section that was previously created by the -c option.
80 * The -j options adds the MIME section in FILE2 to the MIME collection in FILE1.
84 /* In busybox 1.15.0.svn, makemime generates output like this

151 * -c [Content-Type] should create just one MIME section
152 * with "Content-Type:", "Content-Transfer-Encoding:", and HDRs from "-a HDR".
153 * NB: without "Content-Disposition:" auto-added, unlike we do now
154 * NB2: -c has *optional* param which nevertheless _can_ be specified after a space :(
156 * -m [multipart/mixed] should create multipart MIME section
157 * with "Content-Type:", "Content-Transfer-Encoding:", and HDRs from "-a HDR",
158 * and add FILE to it _verbatim_:
161 * --=_1_1321709112_1605
163 * --=_1_1321709112_1605
164 * without any encoding of FILE_CONTENTS. (Basically, it expects that FILE
165 * is the result of "makemime -c").
167 * -j MULTIPART_FILE1 SINGLE_FILE2 should output MULTIPART_FILE1 + SINGLE_FILE2
169 * Our current behavior is a mutant "-m + -c + -j" one: we create multipart MIME
170 * and we put "-c" encoded FILEs into many multipart sections.
