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.
