#
# History:
#               Full changelog can be found in the Subversion repository of the
#               INN project.  Major changes are:
#
#               January 2010:  Geraint A. Edwards added header-only feeding (-B);
#               added ability to hashfeed (-a) - uses MD5 - Diablo-compatible;
#               enabled -m to remove headers matching (or not) a given regexp;
#               minor bug fix to rnews when -O; improved rnews reporting.
#
#               December 2008:  Matija Nalis added -O (optimized mode, checking
#               whether the downstream server already has the article to download).
#               Bug fixes too.
#
#               May 2008:  Geraint A. Edwards greatly improved pullnews, adding
#               -b, -C, -d, -G, -H, -k, -l, -m, -M, -n, -P, -Q, -R, -t, -T, -w and
#               improving -s as well as fixing some bugs.
#               He also integrated the backupfeed contrib script by Kai Henningsen,
#               adding -f, -F, -N, -S, -z and -Z to pullnews.
#
# Description:  A simple pull feeder.  Connects to multiple upstream 
#               machines (in the guise of a reader), and pulls over articles 
#               and feeds them to a downstream server (in the guise of a feeder).
#
#               Uses a simple configuration file:  <pathdb>/pullnews.marks when
#               run as the news user, or otherwise ~/pullnews.marks, to define
#               which machines to pull articles from and which groups at each
#               machine to pull over.  There is also support for more specific
#               configurations like cross-posted newsgroups to kill, thanks to
#               the -m flag which allows articles with headers matching regexp
#               to be dropped.
#
#               A configuration file looks like:
#
#                       data.pa.vix.com 
#                               news.software.nntp 0 0
#                               comp.lang.c 0 0
#                       news.uu.net username password
#                               uunet.announce 0 0
#                               uunet.help 0 0
#
#               Hostname lines have no leading space and may have an optional
#               username and password after the hostname; all the
#               subsequent group lines for that host must have leading
#               spaces.  The two integers on the group line will be updated by
#               the program when it runs.  They are the Unix time the group was
#               accessed, and the highest numbered article that was pulled
#               over.
#

# If you have INN and the script is able to successfully include your
# INN::Config module, the value of $INN::Config::pathdb will override it
# if pullnews is run as the news user.

        [ upstream_host ... ]

  -a hashfeed   only feed article if the MD5 hash of the Message-ID
                matches hashfeed (where hashfeed is of the form value/mod,
                value/mod:offset, start-end/mod, or start-end/mod:offset).
                The algorithm used is compatible with the one used by Diablo;
                see the pullnews man page for more details.

  -b fraction   backtrack on server numbering reset.  The proportion
                (0.0 to 1.0) of a group's articles to pull when the
                server's article number is less than our high for that
                group.  When fraction is 1.0, pull all the articles on
                the server.  The default is to do nothing.

  -B            feed is header-only (headers plus one blank line).
                Add the Bytes: header field if needed.  Keep body if
                control article.

  -c config     specify the configuration file instead of the default
                file located in ${pathdb}/pullnews.marks when run as the news
                user, or otherwise in ~/pullnews.marks (the running user's home
                directory).

  -C width      use width characters for progress (default is $defaultProgressWidth).

  -d level      set debugging level to this integer (default is $defaultDebug).

  -f fraction   proportion of articles to get in each group (0.0 to 1.0).

  -F fakehop    prepend fakehop as a host to the Path: header.

  -g groups     specify a collection of groups to get.  The value must be 
                a single argument with commas between group names:

                        -g comp.lang.c,comp.lang.lisp,comp.lang.python

                The groups must be defined in the config file somewhere. 
                Only the hosts that carry those groups will be contacted.

  -G newsgroups add these groups to the configuration (see -g and -w).

  -h            print this message.

  -H headers    remove these named headers (colon-separated list).

  -k checkpt    checkpoint the config file every checkpt articles
                (default is $defaultCheckPoint).  A value of 0 means
                normally (at end).

  -l logfile    log progress/stats to logfile (default is stdout).

  -m 'Hdr1:regexp1 !Hdr2:regexp2 #Hdr3:regexp3 !#Hdr4:regexp4 ...'
                feed article only if:
                  the Hdr1: header matches regexp1;
                  and the Hdr2: header does not match regexp2;
                also, process the message thus:
                  if the Hdr3: header matches regexp3, remove that header;
                  if the Hdr4: header does not match regexp4, remove it.

  -M num        maximum number of articles (per group) to process before
                bailing out.

  -n            do nothing -- just fake it.

  -N num        timeout length when establishing NNTP connection.

  -O            optimized mode (may help for big articles/slow link to
                upstream hosts).  Check whether an article exists
                before downloading it.

  -p port       specify the port to connect to in order to feed articles
                (default is $defaultPort).

  -P hop_limit  count hops ('!') in the Path: header, feed article only if: 
                hop_limit is '+num' and hop_count is more than num;
                or hop_limit is '-num' and hop_count is less than num.

  -q            $0 will normally be verbose about what it is doing.  This 
                option will make it quiet.

  -Q level      set the quietness level (-Q 2 is equivalent to -q).

  -r file       rather than feeding to a server, $0 will instead
                create an rnews-compatible file.

  -R            be a reader (use MODE READER and POST)

  -s host[:port]
                specify the downstream hostname (and optional port)
                (default is $defaultHost).

  -S num        specify the maximum time (in seconds) to run.

  -t retries    number of attempts to connect to a server
                (default is $defaultRetries, see also -T).

  -T secs       time (in seconds) to pause between retries
                (default is $defaultRetryTime, see also -t).

  -w num        set highwater mark to num (if num is negative, use Current+num
                instead); a num of 0 will re-get all articles on the server;
                but a num of -0 will get no old articles, set mark to Current.

  -x            insert an Xref: header in any article that lacks one.

  -z num        time (in seconds) to sleep between articles.

  -Z num        time (in seconds) to sleep between groups.
