RAWDOG(1)

NAME
rawdog - an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur

SYNOPSIS
rawdog [options]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the rawdog command.

rawdog is an RSS (and other) feed aggregator, based on Mark Pilgrim's flexible feed parser. rawdog reads articles from a number of feeds and writes out a single HTML file, based on a template either provided by the user or generated by rawdog, containing the latest articles it's seen.

OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the README file.

-u, --update
    Fetch data from the feeds and store it. This could take some time if you've got lots of feeds.

-w, --write
    Write out the HTML output file.

-f SOMEURL, --update-feed SOMEURL
    Update the feed pointed to by SOMEURL immediately, even if its period hasn't elapsed since it was last updated.

-c FILE, --config FILE
    Read FILE as an additional config file; any options provided in FILE will override those set in the main config file (with the exception of "feed", which is cumulative). FILE may be an absolute path or a path relative to your .rawdog directory. Note that $HOME/.rawdog/config will still be read first even if you specify this option.

-t,  --show-template
    Print the template currently in use to stdout.

-a URL, --add URL
    Add a new feed to the config file, using Mark Pilgrim's "feedfinder" module to extract the location of the feed from URL.

-d DIR, --dir DIR
    Use DIR instead of the $HOME/.rawdog directory.

--help
    Provide a brief summary of all the options rawdog supports, and exit.

FILES
$HOME/.rawdog/config
