mboxrd-read
| (require mboxrd-read) | package: mboxrd-read |
This package parses mboxrd files,
also known as "normal UNIX mbox files", into lazy lists of messages.
procedure
(mboxrd-parse path) → (stream/c (list/c bytes? bytes?))
path : path?
given a path to an mbox file, return a stream of the messages in the
file. Each file is represented as a list containing a byte-string
representing the header and the promise of a byte-string representing
the body. These byte-strings can be appended to obtain the original
message except that every \n in the original is replaced by \r\n to
match the RFC 2822 format.
procedure
(mboxrd-parse/port port) → (stream/c (list/c bytes? bytes?))
port : input-port?
given an input port, return a lazy list of the messages in the port.
NB: this procedure assumes that it’s the only one reading the port. Bad stuff will happen if its not; it doesn’t leave the "From " of the next message on the stream.
EFFECT: reads from stream, closes it when peek-char returns #<eof>
Additionally, you can use the utilities (e.g. extract-field) in "net/head.ss" to process the header.
Let me know of any bugs.
