+\fBpostcat\fR [\fB\-bdehnoqv\fR] [\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR] [\fIfiles\fR...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBpostcat\fR(1) command prints the contents of the
+named \fIfiles\fR in human\-readable form. The files are
+expected to be in Postfix queue file format. If no \fIfiles\fR
+are specified on the command line, the program reads from
+standard input.
+
+By default, \fBpostcat\fR(1) shows the envelope and message
+content, as if the options \fB\-beh\fR were specified. To
+view message content only, specify \fB\-bh\fR (Postfix 2.7
+and later).
+
+Options:
+.IP \fB\-b\fR
+Show body content. The \fB\-b\fR option starts producing
+output at the first non\-header line, and stops when the end
+of the message is reached.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.IP "\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR"
+The \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file is in the named directory
+instead of the default configuration directory.
+.IP \fB\-d\fR
+Print the decimal type of each record.
+.IP \fB\-e\fR
+Show message envelope content.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.IP \fB\-h\fR
+Show message header content. The \fB\-h\fR option produces
+output from the beginning of the message up to, but not
+including, the first non\-header line.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.IP \fB\-o\fR
+Print the queue file offset of each record.
+.IP \fB\-q\fR
+Search the Postfix queue for the named \fIfiles\fR instead
+of taking the names literally.
+
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.IP \fB\-r\fR
+Print records in file order, don't follow pointer records.
+
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.7 and later.
+.IP "\fB\-s \fIoffset\fR"
+Skip to the specified queue file offset.
+
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.7 and later.
+.IP \fB\-v\fR
+Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB\-v\fR
+options make the software increasingly verbose.
