overview.fmt - format of news overview database
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/news/overview.fmt specifies the organization of the news overview database. Blank lines and lines beginning with a number
sign (``#'') are ignored. The order of lines in this file is important; it determines the order in which the fields will appear in the
database.
Most lines will consist of an article header name, optionally followed by a colon. A trailing set of lines can have the word ``full''
appear after the colon; this indicates that the header should appear as well as its value.
If this file is changed, it is usually necessary to rebuild the existing overview database using expireover(8) after removing all existing
overview files.
The default file, show below, is compatible with Geoff Collyer's ``nov'' package:

## Some newsreaders get better performance if Xref is present

overview.fmt - format of news overview database
DESCRIPTION
The file <pathetc in inn.conf>/overview.fmt specifies the organization of the news overview database. Blank lines and lines beginning with
a number sign (``#'') are ignored. The order of lines in this file is important; it determines the order in which the fields will appear
in the database.
Most lines will consist of an article header name, optionally followed by a colon. A trailing set of lines can have the word ``full''
appear after the colon; this indicates that the header should appear as well as its value.
If this file is changed, new overview records will be constructed with the modified format. If it is desired to update existing records,
it is necessary to rebuild the existing overview database using makehistory(8) after removing all existing overview files.
``Xref:full'' must be included, or innd(8) and other programs which utilize overview method cannot start.
The default file, show below, is compatible with Geoff Collyer's ``nov'' package:

Usually the only modifications which should be made to the default file are additions of new fields to the end of the file; all such fields
should have ``full'' after the colon. The first eight fields should remain in the same order as above.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
