# ctl_deliver

Perform operations on the duplicate delivery database

## Synopsis

    ctl_deliver [ -C config-file ] -d [ -f filename ]

## Description

ctl_deliver is used to perform various administrative operations on the duplicate delivery database.

ctl_deliver reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. The configdirectory option in imapd.conf(5) is used to determine the default location of the delivery database.

## Options

`-C` `config-file`

  Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

`-d```

  Dump the contents of the database to standard output in a portable flat-text format.

`-f` `filename`

  Use the database specified by filename instead of the default (configdirectory/deliver.db).

## Examples

    ctl_deliver -d

> Dump configdirectory/deliver.db to STDOUT
