• decode

  Read a package barcode or tracking number (IMpb), or a letter's or flat's Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) from its digits or bars: its layout, each field's digits and meaning, whether the check digit or the bars' frame check holds, and the service type code's or Service Type ID's…

• lookup

  Look up a USPS code: its row as USPS prints it in the newest edition that lists it, the codes its cells name, the editions that list it and its history, each row with its passage id. A code is found without the marks USPS prints around it and in a row USPS prints for several…

• diff

  What changed in a code table or document between two editions: each code added, removed or changed and each changed section, rated editorial, additive or breaking, with who rated it.

• search_documents

  Search every document on PostalPro by title and file name, with its page and newest file, and the product pages and downloads postalref holds by title. Each one postalref holds the text of carries an `id`, which read_source takes as `document`. A title says only that USPS…

• search_text

  Search the text of every document postalref holds, or of one, for the pages that say the words, best first: those that say them as a phrase, then by how much of the page they are and how many of them it says side by side or close together, a table of contents last. A court's…
