.SH NAME
|
|
newsrc \- information file for readnews and checknews
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "readnews information file" "" "readnews information file \(em \fL.newsrc\fP"
|
|
.IX "checknews information file" "" "checknews information file \(em \fL.newsrc\fP"
|
|
The
|
|
.BI . newsrc
|
|
file contains the list of previously read articles and an optional
|
|
options line for
|
|
.IR readnews (1)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR checknews (1).
|
|
Each newsgroup that articles
|
|
have been read from has a line of the form:
|
|
.sp .5
|
|
\fInewsgroup\fP\|: range
|
|
.sp .5
|
|
.I Range
|
|
is a list of the articles read. It is basically a list of numbers
|
|
separated by commas with sequential numbers collapsed with hyphens.
|
|
For instance:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B general: 1-78,80,85-90
|
|
.br
|
|
.B fa.info-cpm: 1-7
|
|
.br
|
|
.B net.news: 1
|
|
.br
|
|
.B fa.info-vax! 1-5
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the : is replaced with an ! (as in info-vax above) the newsgroup
|
|
is not subscribed to and is not be shown to the user.
|
|
.LP
|
|
An options line starts with the word
|
|
.B options
|
|
(left-justified). Then there are the list of options just as they
|
|
would be on the command line. For instance:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B "options \-n all !fa.sf-lovers !fa.human-nets \-r"
|
|
.br
|
|
.B "options \-c \-r"
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.LP
|
|
A string of lines beginning with a space or tab after the initial options
|
|
line are considered continuation lines.
