MU-SERVER(1)

NAME
mu server - the mu backend for the mm e-mail cleint

DESCRIPTION
mu server starts a simple shell in which can manipulate the mu database. The output of the commands is terms of symbolic expressions (s-exps). mu server is not meant for use by humans; instead, it is designed specifically for the mm e-mail client.

OUTPUT FORMAT
mu server accepts a number of commands, and delivers its results in the form:
 \376<length>\376s-expr \367 (that is, the character with ascii value 254, \376 in octac notation), followed by the length of the s-expression, followed by another \376, followed by the actual s-expression. By prefixing the expression with length, it can be processed more efficiently. The \376 (254) was choses since it is a value that will never occur in valid UTF-8 (in which the s-expressions are encoded).
