總覽 (SYNOPSIS)

描述 (DESCRIPTION)
Biff 通知系統(tǒng)在當前終端會話期間有新郵件是否提醒你。
支持的選項有 biff
- n
- 禁止新郵件提醒。
- y
- 開啟新郵件提醒。
當新郵件提醒開啟后, 如果有郵件到達, 郵件頭和郵件正文的頭幾行將在你的屏幕上打印出來。通常會在 .login 或者 .profile 文件中加上一個 ``biff y '' 命令, 好讓每次登錄時自動執(zhí)行。
Biff 通過 comsat(8) 服務(wù)異步執(zhí)行。 如果此服務(wù)沒有開啟, biff 就不做任何事情。 在這種情況下, 或者需要同步提醒, 用 sh(1) 的 MAIL 變量, 或者 csh(1) 的 mail 變量。

NAME
biff - be notified if mail arrives and who it is from
SYNOPSIS
biff [ny ]
DESCRIPTION
Biff informs the system whether you want to be notified when mail arrives during the current terminal session.
Options supported by biff
- n
- Disables notification.
- y
- Enables notification.
When mail notification is enabled, the header and first few lines of the message will be printed on your screen whenever mail arrives. A ``biff y '' command is often included in the file .login or .profile to be executed at each login.
Biff operates asynchronously via the comsat(8) service. If that service is not enabled, biff will not do anything. In that case, or for synchronous notification, use the MAIL variable of sh(1) or the mail variable of csh(1).
