NAME
rss - commandline rss reader
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
rss
downloads and displays rss and rdf feeds at the commandline. By default,
it displays the feed in
lynx
and allows the user to browse to full articles.
It is dependant upon
sgrep
and
lynx.
USAGE
Invoke rss with a keyword as the sole argument. The keyword corresponds
to an entry in
$HOME/.rssrc
and a url for an RSS feed.
OPTIONS
There are no commandline options. (See TODO)
CONFIGURATION FILES
In order for rss to be useful, there must be a
$HOME/.rssrc
file. An example one follows:
- .rssrc
-
#
# Configuration file for rss
# rss - a commandline rss reader
#
#
# view_only will display the rss feed in less and show no links.
#
#view_only=yes
#
# dump simply dumps the output (without links) to stdout.
#
#dump=yes
#
# You can add any options you want for lynx here. .lynxrc is also read.
#

#
# Here are some example rss feeds. Prefix each with "rss_" and make
# sure to quote any url that has spaces in it. Note that you can add
# the same url to multiple names.
