NEWS(1) 							   USER COMMANDS							   NEWS(1)

NAME

       news - display system news

SYNOPSIS

       news [-adDeflnpvxs] [[article1] [article2] ..]

DESCRIPTION

       The  news command keeps you informed of news concerning the system.  Each news item is contained in a separate file in the /var/lib/sysnews
       directory. Anyone having write permission to this directory can create a news file.

       If you run the news command without any flags, it displays every unread file in the /var/lib/sysnews directory.

       Each file is preceded by an appropriate header. To avoid reporting old news, the news command stores a currency time. The news command con-
       siders your currency time to be the date the $HOME/.news_time file was last modified. Each time you read the news, the modification time of
       this file changes to that of the reading. Only news item files posted after this time are considered unread.

       -a, --all
	      Display all news, also the already read news.

	      Add a date stamp to each article name printed. this can only be used with the -nl flags.

       -D, --datefmt <fmt>
