NAME

       sfeed_update — update feeds and merge with old feeds

SYNOPSIS

       sfeed_update [sfeedrc]

DESCRIPTION

       sfeed_update  writes  TAB-separated feed files and merges new items with the items in any existing files.
       The items are stored as one file per feed in the directory $HOME/.sfeed/feeds by default.  The  directory
       can be changed in the sfeedrc(5) file.

OPTIONS

       sfeedrc
               Config file.  The default is $HOME/.sfeed/sfeedrc.

FILES READ

       sfeedrc
               This  file is evaluated as a shellscript in sfeed_update.  See also the sfeedrc(5) man page for a
               detailed description of the format and an example file.

FILES WRITTEN

       feedname
               TAB-separated sfeed(5) format containing all items per feed.  The sfeed_update script merges  new
               items with this file.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SFEED_UPDATE_INCLUDE
               When set to "1" sfeed_update can be sourced as a script, but it won't run the main() entry-point.

LOGGING

       When processing a feed it will log failures to stderr and non-failures to stdout in the format:

       [HH:MM:SS] feedname message

EXIT STATUS

       The  sfeed_update  utility  exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.  If any of the feeds failed to
       update then the exit status is non-zero.

EXAMPLES

       To update your feeds and format them in various formats:

       # Update feeds
       sfeed_update "configfile"
       # Format to a plain-text list
       sfeed_plain ~/.sfeed/feeds/* > ~/.sfeed/feeds.txt
       # Format to HTML
       sfeed_html ~/.sfeed/feeds/* > ~/.sfeed/feeds.html
       # Format to HTML with frames
       mkdir -p somedir && cd somedir && sfeed_frames ~/.sfeed/feeds/*
