NAME
cvtbatch - convert Usenet batch file to INN format SYNOPSIS
cvtbatch [ -w items ] DESCRIPTION
Cvtbatch reads standard input as a series of lines, converts each line, and writes it to standard output. It is used to convert simple batchfiles that contain just the article name to INN batchfiles that contain additional information about each article. Each line is taken as the pathname to a Usenet article. If it is not an absolute pathname, it is taken relative to the spool directory, <patharticles in inn.conf>. (Only the first word of each line is parsed; anything following whitespace is ignored.) OPTIONS
-w The ``-w'' flag specifies how each output line should be written. The items for this flag should be chosen from the ``W'' flag items as specified in newsfeeds(5). They may be chosen from the following set: b Size of article in bytes f full pathname of article m article message-id n relative pathname of article If the input file consists of a series of Message-ID's, then use grephistory(1) with the ``-s'' flag piped into cvtbatch.

NAME
grephistory - display file names from Usenet history file SYNOPSIS
grephistory [ -f filename ] [ -e ] [ -n ] [ -q ] [ -l ] [ -t ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ messageid ] DESCRIPTION
Grephistory queries the dbz(3) index into the history(5) file for an article having a specified Message-ID. If messageid cannot be found in the database, the program prints ``Not found'' and exits with a non-zero status. If messageid is in the database, the program prints the pathname and exits successfully. OPTIONS
-n If no pathname exists, the program will print ``/dev/null'' and exit successfully. This can happen when an article has been can- celled, or if it has been expired but its history is still retained. This is default behaviour, which can be obtained by using the ``-n'' flag. -q If the ``-q'' flag is used, then no message is displayed. The program will still exit with the appropriate exit status. -t If the ``-t'' flag is used, then only the offset into the history text file is printed. -e If the ``-e'' flag is used, then grephistory will only print the filename of an existing article. -l If the ``-l'' flag is used then the entire line from the history file will be displayed. -i If the ``-i'' flag is used, then grephistory will read a list of Message-ID's on standard input, one per line. Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored, as are any malformed lines. It will print on standard output those Message-ID's which are not found in the history database. This flag is used in processsing ``ihave'' control messages. -s If the ``-s'' flag is used, then grephistory will read a similar list from its standard input. It will print on standard output a list of filenames for each article that is still available. This flag is used in processsing ``sendme'' control messages. -f To specify a different value for the history file and database, use the ``-f'' flag. HISTORY
