SFEED_UPDATE(1) 	     General Commands Manual		 SFEED_UPDATE(1)

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/*
