.SH "INTRODUCTION"
.I maildir
is a shell script which invokes
.IR safecat .
It is equivalent to
.I safecat
.IR dir /tmp
.IR dir /new.
It saves a little typing for those who want to use qmail maildirs,
which have a fixed structure.
.IR safecat ,
on the other hand, allows the user to have one temporary directory for
many spool directories. This is occasionally useful; some people don't
like to multiply the number of places which need to be periodically
cleaned up.
