NAME

sfeed_update —

update feeds and merge with old feeds

SYNOPSIS

sfeed_update [sfeedrc]

DESCRIPTION

sfeed_update writes TAB-separated feed files and merges new items with the items in any existing files. The items are stored as one file per feed in the directory $HOME/.sfeed/feeds by default. The directory can be changed in the sfeedrc(5) file.

OPTIONS

sfeedrc: Config file. The default is $HOME/.sfeed/sfeedrc.

FILES READ

sfeedrc: This file is evaluated as a shellscript in sfeed_update. See also the sfeedrc(5) man page for a detailed description of the format and an example file.

FILES WRITTEN

feedname: TAB-separated sfeed(5) format containing all items per feed. The sfeed_update script merges new items with this file. The feed name cannot contain the '/' character because it is a path separator, they will be replaced with '_'.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

SFEED_UPDATE_INCLUDE: When set to "1" sfeed_update can be sourced as a script, but it won't run the main() entry-point.

EXIT STATUS

The sfeed_update utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

To update your feeds and format them in various formats:

# Update
sfeed_update "configfile"
# Plain-text list
sfeed_plain ~/.sfeed/feeds/* > ~/.sfeed/feeds.txt
# HTML
sfeed_html ~/.sfeed/feeds/* > ~/.sfeed/feeds.html
# HTML with frames
mkdir -p somedir && cd somedir && sfeed_frames ~/.sfeed/feeds/*
