RAWDOG(1)						      General Commands Manual							 RAWDOG(1)

NAME

       rawdog - an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur

SYNOPSIS

       rawdog [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the rawdog command.

       rawdog  is  an  RSS (and other) feed aggregator, based on Mark Pilgrim's flexible feed parser. rawdog reads articles from a number of feeds
       and writes out a single HTML file, based on a template either provided by the user or generated by rawdog, containing the  latest  articles
       it's seen.

OPTIONS

       This  program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below. For a complete description, see the README file.

       -u, --update
	      Fetch data from the feeds and store it. This could take some time if you've got lots of feeds.

       -w, --write
	      Write out the HTML output file.

       -f SOMEURL, --update-feed SOMEURL
	      Update the feed pointed to by SOMEURL immediately, even if its period hasn't elapsed since it was last updated.

       -c FILE, --config FILE
	      Read FILE as an additional config file; any options provided in FILE will override those set in  the  main  config  file	(with  the
	      exception  of  "feed",  which is cumulative).  FILE may be an absolute path or a path relative to your .rawdog directory.  Note that
	      $HOME/.rawdog/config will still be read first even if you specify this option.

       -t,  --show-template
	      Print the template currently in use to stdout.

       -a URL, --add URL
	      Add a new feed to the config file.

       -d DIR, --dir DIR
	      Use DIR instead of the $HOME/.rawdog directory.

       --help Provide a brief summary of all the options rawdog supports, and exit.

FILES

       $HOME/.rawdog/config
