NAME

       nfcomment - a user interface to the notesfile system

SYNOPSIS

       nfcomment ( notesfile, text, title, dirflag, anonflag )
       char *nfname, *text, *title;

       cc ... -lnfcom

DESCRIPTION

       Nfcomment provides user programs with the ability to insert notes into a notesfile.

       The  note  is  inserted into the notesfile specified by nfname.	Text is the address of the body of the note; this must be null-terminated.
       If text is  NULL, the note is gathered from standard input until an EOF is encountered.	The note is entered with the  title  specified	by
       the  title  parameter.	If  the dirflag or anonflag parameters are non-zero, the director message is enabled or the note is entered anony-
       mously.	These take effect only if the user has the appropriate priviledges in the notesfile.

       Nfpipe is used to make the actual insertion of the text.

NAME

       nfprint - Print the contents of a notesfile

SYNOPSIS

       nfprint [ -p ] [ -l# ] [ -d or -nd ] [ -c ] [ -t ] topic [ note-list ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nfprint	gives  the  user  the ability to print the contents of notesfiles.  Nfprint writes to standard output.	The text is formatted with
       pr(1).  When the -c option is used, the output is filtered through cat(1) instead.

       The -l# parameter specifies the page length to use (66 lines/page is the default).  By specifying -p, the printout is arranged so each base
       note starts on a new page.  The -d and -nd options specify only notes with the director flag on or off respectively are to be printed.  Use
       -t to generate a list of titles only; the text of notes and responses is suppressed.

       The note list is the set of notes which are to be printed.  An example note list is: 1,30-36,13,10,42-50.

FILES

       /etc/passwd			  for the users name
       /etc/group			  for the users group(s)
