NAME

       smuxi-message-buffer — converts and dumps Smuxi chat history

SYNOPSIS

       smuxi-message-buffer     [-dh]     convert     [--source-format=format]     [--destination-format=format]
                            source-file(s)... destination-file
       smuxi-message-buffer [-dh] cat [--format=format] source-file(s)...

DESCRIPTION

       smuxi-message-buffer is a tool that manages the databases that Smuxi holds chat histories in.  Currently,
       it can convert and dump databases.

       Similar  to  commands  like  git(1)  , smuxi-message-buffer takes a command as the first parameter. These
       commands can be cat (dumps a JSON representation of the database to standard output) or convert. (changes
       the database from one format to another) Note that the destination file can be set to "-" or empty in the
       case of convert, in which case it will export to stdout.

       The following options can be used. Some options will depend on what command you're using.

       -d, --debug
               Turn on debugging. Debug logs are outputted on the console.

       -h, --help
               Show the arguments Smuxi takes.

       --source-format=format

       --format=format
               Manually specify a source format. Options include auto (figured  out  via  filename),  db4o,  and
               sqlite.

       --destination-format=format
               Manually  specify  a  source  destination,  if  converting. Options include auto (figured out via
               filename), db4o, and sqlite.
