#
# scanspool - perform a big scan over all articles in /usr/spool/news
#
# usage:
# scanspool [-a active_file] [-s spool_dir] [-v] [-c] [-n]
#
# -a active_file active file to use (default /usr/lib/news/active)
# -s spool_dir spool tree (default /usr/spool/news)
# -v verbose mode
# verbose messages begin with a tab
# show articles found in non-active directories
# -c check article filenames, don't scan the articles
# -n don't throttle innd
#
# NOTE: This take a while, -v is a good thing if you want to know
# how far this program has progressed.
#
# This program will scan first the active file, noting problems such as:
#
# malformed line
# group aliased to a non-existent group
# group aliased to a group tat is also aliased
#
# Then it will examine all articles under your news spool directory,
# looking for articles that:
#
# basename that starts with a leading 0
# basename that is out of range with the active file
# does not contain a Newsgroups: line
# article that is all header and no text
# is in a directory for which there is no active group
# article that is in a group to which it does not belong
#
# Scanspool understands aliased groups. Thus, if an article is posted
# to foo.old.name that is aliases to foo.bar, it will be expected to
# be found under foo.bar and not foo.old.name.
#
# Any group that is of type 'j' or 'x' (4th field of the active file)
# will be allowed to show up under the junk group.
#
# Scanspool assumes that the path of a valid newsgroup's directory
# from the top of the spool tree will not contain any "." character.
# Thus, directories such as out.going, tmp.dir, in.coming and
# news.archive will not be searched. This program also assumes that
# article basenames contain only decimal digits. Last, files under
# the top level directory "lost+found" are not scanned.
#
# The output of scanspool will start with one of 4 forms:
#
# FATAL: fatal or internal error (to stderr)
#
# WARN: active or article format problem, (to stderr)
# group alias problem, find error,
# article open error
#
# path/123: basename starts with 0, (to stdout)
# article number out of range,
# article in the wrong directory,
# article in directory not related to
# an active non-aliases newsgroup
#
# \t ... verbose message starting with a tab (to stdout)
# Data structures
#
# $gname2type{$name}
# $name - newsgroup name in foo.dot.form
# produces => 4th active field (y, n, x, ...)
# alias type is "=", not "=foo.bar"
#
# $realgname{$name}
# $name - newsgroup name in foo.dot.form
# produces => newsgroup name in foo.dot.form
# if type is =, this will be a.b, not $name
#
# $lowart{$name}
# $name - newsgroup name in foo.dot.form
# produces => lowest article allowed in the group
# if type is =, this is not valid
#
# $highart{$name}
# $name - newsgroup name in foo.dot.form
# produces => highest article allowed in the group
# if type is =, this is not valid
# If $highart{$name} < $lowart{$name},
# then the group should be empty
