MU-SERVER(1) General Commands Manual MU-SERVER(1) NAME mu server - the mu backend for the mu4e e-mail client SYNOPSIS mu server [options] DESCRIPTION mu server starts a simple shell in which one can query and manipulate the mu database. The output uses s-expressions. mu server is not meant for use by humans, except for debugging purposes. Instead, it is de- signed specifically for the mu4e e-mail client. In this man-page, we document the commands mu server accepts, as well as their responses. In general, the commands sent to the server are s- expressions of the form: (<command-name> :param1 value1 :param2 value2) For example, to view a certain message, the command would be: (view :docid 12345) Parameters can be sent in any order; they must be of the correct type though. See lib/utils/mu-sexp-parser.hh and lib/utils/mu-sexp- parser.cc in source-tree for the details. OUTPUT FORMAT mu server accepts a number of commands, and delivers its results in the form: \376<length>\377<s-expr> \376 (one byte 0xfe), followed by the length of the s-expression ex- pressed as an hexadecimal number, followed by another \377 (one byte 0xff), followed by the actual s-expression. By prefixing the expression with its length, it can be processed more efficiently. The \376 and \377 were chosen since they never occur in valid UTF-8 (in which the s-expressions are encoded).
