The resulting binary can be used directly to process e\-mail +messages during the delivery process. The delivery of mail messages and \- by +means of the LDA Sieve plugin \- also the execution of Sieve scripts is +performed by Dovecot\(aqs local delivery agent (LDA) called \fBdovecot\-lda\fP(1). +Usually, it is not necessary to compile the Sieve script manually using +\fBsievec\fP, because \fBdovecot\-lda\fP will do this automatically if the binary +is missing. However, in some cases \fBdovecot\-lda\fP does not have permission to +write the compiled binary to disk, forcing it to recompile the script every time +it is executed. Using the \fBsievec\fP tool, this can be performed manually by +an authorized user to increase performance. +.PP +The Pigeonhole Sieve implementation recognizes files with a \fB.sieve\fP +extension as Sieve scripts and corresponding files with a \fB.svbin\fP extension +as the associated compiled binary. This means for example that Dovecot\(aqs LDA +process will first look for a binary file \(dqdovecot.svbin\(dq when it needs to +execute \(dqdovecot.sieve\(dq. It will compile a new binary when it is missing +or outdated. +.PP +The \fBsievec\fP command is also useful to verify Sieve scripts before using. +Additionally, with the \fB\-d\fP option it can output a textual (and thus +human\-readable) dump of the generated Sieve code to the specified file. The +output is then identical to what the \fBsieve\-dump\fP(1) command produces for a +stored binary file. This output is mainly useful to find bugs in the compiler +that yield corrupt binaries. +.\"------------------------------------------------------------------------ +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI \-c\ config\-file +Alternative Dovecot configuration file path. +.TP +.B \-d +Don\(aqt write the binary to \fIout\-file\fP, but write a textual dump of the +binary instead. In this context, the \fIout\-file\fP value '\-' has special +meaning: it causes the the textual dump to be written to \fBstdout\fP. +The \fIout\-file\fP argument may also be omitted, which has the same effect +as '\-'. +The output is identical to what the \fBsieve\-dump\fP(1) command produces +for a compiled Sieve binary file. Note that this option is not allowed when the +\fIout\-file\fP argument is a directory. +.TP +.B \-D +Enable Sieve debugging. +.TP +.BI \-o\ setting = value +Overrides the configuration +.I setting +from +.I @pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf +and from the userdb with the given +.IR value . +In order to override multiple settings, the +.B \-o +option may be specified multiple times. +.TP +.BI \-u\ user +Run the Sieve script for the given \fIuser\fP. When omitted, the +.I command +will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user. +.TP +.BI \-x\ extensions +Set the available extensions. The parameter is a space\-separated list of the +active extensions. By prepending the extension identifiers with \fB+\fP or +\fB\-\fP, extensions can be included or excluded relative to the configured set +of active extensions. If no extensions have a \fB+\fP or \fB\-\fP prefix, only +those extensions that are explicitly listed will be enabled. Unknown extensions +are ignored and a warning is produced. + +For example \fB\-x\fP \(dq+imapflags \-enotify\(dq will enable the deprecated +imapflags extension and disable the enotify extension. The rest of the active +extensions depends on the \fIsieve_extensions\fP and +\fIsieve_global_extensions\fP settings. By default, i.e. +when \fIsieve_extensions\fP and \fIsieve_global_extensions\fP remain +unconfigured, all supported extensions are available, except for deprecated +extensions or those that are still under development. + +.\"------------------------------------------------------------------------ +.SH ARGUMENTS +.TP +.I script\-file +Specifies the script to be compiled. If the \fIscript\-file\fP argument is a +directory, all files in that directory with a \fI.sieve\fP extension are +compiled into a corresponding \fI.svbin\fP binary file. The compilation is not +halted upon errors; it attempts to compile as many scripts in the directory as +possible. Note that the \fB\-d\fP option and the \fIout\-file\fP argument are +not allowed when the \fIscript\-file\fP argument is a directory. +.TP +.I out\-file +Specifies where the (binary) output is to be written. This argument is optional. +If this argument is omitted, a binary compiled from <scriptname>.sieve is saved +as <scriptname>.svbin.
