12/14/88 display_mailing_address, dsmla Syntax: dsmla {name(s)} {-control arguments} Function: displays the specified mail table entries with default mailing address(es), which appear in the format used in message headers displayed by read_mail. In addition, if the mail table entry specifies an ACS segment to allow other maintainers to update it, this pathname is displayed, and also any alias names associated with the mail table entry are displayed. Arguments: name(s) is the personid or alias of the user whose mailing address should be displayed, or the name or alias of a mail table entry for a forum or mailing list. The command displays the mailing address for each one (printing a warning message for invalid ones). If none are given, the default is the current user. The star convention is allowed and the address information of any name(s) matching the starname will be displayed (See "Notes on starnames"). Control arguments: -name STR, -nm STR specifies that mail table name STR literally contains characters which are star name characters (eg, *, ?). Notes on starnames: As dsmla is insensitive to the type case of the specified name, the matching of starnames is also performed insensitive to type case. If more than one mail table name are equal except for type case and all match the given starname, then all are displayed. ----------------------------------------------------------- Historical Background This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
