# mmhwrap(1mh)

invoke mmh commands if they are not in $PATH

## NAME

mmhwrap - invoke mmh commands if they are not in $PATH

## SYNOPSIS

**mmhwrap** *command* \[*options*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

Use **mmhwrap** if you want to invoke mmh programs without adding the mmh bindir into $PATH, or if you want to install **nmh** and **mmh** both. As their tools are equally named (but incompatibe) you can only have one of both tool chests accessible through $PATH. Use the wrapper to access **mmh** tools, if you have the **nmh** tools in your $PATH (first).

Copy **mmhwrap** into a directory that's part of $PATH, likely $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin. You likely want to rename **mmhwrap** to something shorter, like \`m' for instance:

```
cp /usr/lib/mmh/mmhwrap $HOME/bin/m
chmod +x $HOME/bin/m
```

Then use it this way:

```
% m folder
inbox+ has 162 messages  (1-177); cur=131; (others).
% m scan -help
Usage: scan [+folder] [msgs] [switches]
  switches are:
  -form formatfile
  -width columns
  -(file) file
  -Version
  -help
% m scan f
   1  2012-02-13  To: meillo         laber blubb
% m refile l +foo
