Almost all FIDOGATE programs support the following standard options, which therefore aren't listed in the sections describing the individual programs:
-v --verbose
-h --help
-c --config name
"" means none. name may
start with %X/, see below.
-a --addr Z:N/F.P
-u --uplink-addr Z:N/F.P
The option -a and -u also support Internet-style FTN
addresses, e.g. p10.f110.n2452.z2. If any of these options is
specified, all addresses from the config file are disabled.
All options and config statements which take file or directory names
accept the following % abbreviations:

All command keywords may be prefixed by %. ftnaf also
recognizes the -q (= query) and -l (= list) options
following the password in the subject header.
For proper operation ftnaf requires the X-FTN-From header
generated by ftn2rfc, thus the X-FTN configuration must
include the f flag.

Usage:
ftnafmail [-options] |
Options:
-F --filefix
ftnaf as Filefix program.
This is the setuid mail frontend for ftnaf to be run from the
sendmail aliases. DO NOT use ftnaf directly, as this will result
in security problems.

Options:
-I --in-dir name

-n --no-rewrite
-b --areas-bbs NAME
-F --filefix
This is the packet processor frontend for the FIDOGATE Areafix, which
doesn't require the Unix mail system for Areafix operation. The best way
to use ftnafpkt is via the tosser.
routing example:
Remap 2:2499/999.* 2:2499/999.101 "Area*" # ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # node addr pseudo point # for Areafix NetMail Send hold 2:2499/999.* |
packing example:
progn areafix "/usr/lib/fidogate/ftnafpkt %s" pack areaifx 2:2499/999.101 |
runout must be run regularly to process messages generated by
ftnafpkt.

Options:
-A --address-a Z:N/F.P

This program provides a NetMail gateway between different FTNs, using the (somewhat) standard "User Name%Z:N/F.P" addressing in the FTN from and to fields.
If no packet is given on the command line, ftn2ftn looks for
packets addressed to the gateway addresses (A and B) in the Binkley
outbound. Both gateway addresses must be specified with the -A and
-B options.
If a packet name is passed on the command line, ftn2ftn will
gate this to the other network A. The gateway address (sender of the mails
in network A) is set with -A option.

Usage:
ftnexpire [-options] |
Options:
-m --maxhistory days
-w --wait
This utility expires and rebuilds the MSGID history database, similar to expire for the INN news system.
If the MSGID history database dupe check is used, ftnexpire must
be run regularly to keep the history database optimized (if not,
accessing the history database will become very slow!). A daily cron
job is just the right thing.

Usage:
ftnpack [-options] [packet ... ] |
Options:

ftnpack looks for file attachments. Should
be the appropiate inbound directory, see also the runtoss
script. If this option is not specified, no file attachments are
processed.
If -F / is specified, ftnpack accepts a complete path name
in the subject and doesn't search the directory. Warning: this option
compromises security to some degree, because it allows any user to
send any file readable by the user id running the tosser and
mailer!!!
