sinntp - tiny non-interactive NNTP client
SYNOPSIS
sinntp command [options...] [args...]
DESCRIPTION
sinntp is a tiny NNTP client originally designed to work in non-interactive mode. Following operations are supported: o sending articles to the server, o fetching new articles to the mbox file, o downloading individual messages in RFC822 format, o listing available newsgroups.
COMMANDS
sinntp provides following commands: o get, o list, o pull, o push. Above commands may also be invoked via convenience wrappers named in nntp-command scheme (e.g. nntp-get). See wrappers' manual pages for command synopsis and description.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
--version Show program's version number and exit. -h, --help Show short help message end exit. -v, --verbose Be more verbose (use multiple times to increase verbosity). -q, --quiet Be less verbose (use multiple times to decrease verbosity). -p, --plugin=plugin Load and use plugin. -S, --server=host, --server=host:port Connect to the specified host and port. If omitted sinntp will use address stored in /etc/nntp/server file or in NNTPSERVER variable (the latter takes precedence over the former). -U, --username=username Use specified username for authentication. -P, --password=password Use specified password for authentication. Use with caution! The password may be visible to other users of the system. --no-netrc Do not attempt to read authentication credentials (username, password) from the ~/.netrc file. -t, --timeout=timeout Wait maximum timeout seconds during communication with the server. Also, a particular command can support additional options.
