Bug#395063: cyrus-imapd-2.2: squatter documentation incomplete

Package: cyrus-imapd-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-8
Severity: minor

Also affects cyrus-doc-2.2 (squatter.8.html).
An upstream issue.

1. command line arguments
The man page for squatter say
SYNOPSIS
       squatter [ -C config-file ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -a ] [ -v ] mailbox...

The mailbox argument is never explained.  Is it the path on disk, an
IMAP like designation (with what path separator), or something else?

Also, I infer from the the default cyrus.conf EVENTS that the mailbox
argument can be omitted.  I'm guessing this implies recursive (-r) and
starts at the top of the tree.

2. Apparently you need to be the cyrus user.  It would be good to say so.

3. I get the following error
$ nice squatter -v
nice: squatter: No such file or directory

This is weird, since the only 2 files mentioned in FILES are present.

As a non-documentation issue, I'm trying to got squatter back in order
after the events described in bug 393596.  That involved a purge of
2.1 inadvertently removing stuff that 2.2 was using; something
connected with squat apparently was hit.  I have rebooted since then.
