NAME
     Liferea - GTK desktop news aggregator

SYNOPSIS
     liferea [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an aggregator for online news feeds.  It can
     be  used  to maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse and search through
     their items and displays their contents.  Additionally Liferea  allows  one
     to   sync	 subscriptions	and  read  headlines  with  online  accounts  of
     TinyTinyRSS and TheOldReader.

OPTIONS
     Liferea options:

     -v, --version
	    Print version information and exit.

     -h, --help
	    Display a option overview and exit.

     -a, --add-feed=URI
	    Add a new subscription URI which can be a feed or website URL.

     -w, --mainwindow-state=STATE
	    Start Liferea with its mainwindow in STATE: shown, hidden.

     -p, --disable-plugins
	    Start with all plugins disabled.

     --debug-all
	    Print debugging messages of all types.

     --debug-cache
	    Print debugging messages for the cache handling.

     --debug-conf
	    Print debugging messages of the configuration handling.

     --debug-db
	    Print debugging messages of the configuration handling.

     --debug-gui
	    Print debugging messages of all GUI functions.

     --debug-html
	    Enables HTML rendering debugging. Each  time  Liferea  renders  HTML
	    output it will also dump the generated HTML into $XDG_CACHE_DIR/lif-
	    erea/output.html.

     --debug-net
	    Print  debugging  messages of all network activities and display the
	    HTTP/S User-Agent string.

     --debug-parsing
	    Print debugging messages of all parsing functions.

     --debug-update
	    Print debugging messages of the feed update processing.

     --debug-vfolder
	    Print debugging messages of the search folder matching.

DBUS INTERFACE
     To allow integration with other programs Liferea provides a DBUS  interface
     for automatic creation of new subscriptions. The script liferea-add-feed is
     a convenient way to use this interface. Just pass a valid feed URL as para-
     meter  and  the feed will be added to the feed list. You can also pass non-
     feed URLs to use feed auto discovery.  See the EXAMPLES section.

ENVIRONMENT
     http_proxy (for HTTP connections)
     https_proxy (for HTTPS connections)
	    If defined and a proxy is not specified in the  Liferea  preferences
	    (which  uses the proxy settings provided by dconf), their value will
	    be used as proxy URIs. Both are used by many common  CLI  tools,  so
	    make sure to export them in a dedicated subshell.

     LIFEREA_FEED_CMD_TIMEOUT
	    If	defined,  overrides the default timeout for feed generating com-
	    mands with the number of seconds given in this variable. It must  be
	    an integer value greater than zero; invalid values will be ignored.

     LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS
	    If	defined, randomizes and anonymizes the default HTTP/S User-Agent
	    string.

     LIFEREA_UA
	    If defined, its value replaces the default HTTP/S User-Agent string.

     LIFEREA_UA has always precedence over LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS, so  the  latter
     can be safely defined in global shell initialization files.

EXAMPLES
     $ http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:3128" liferea
     $ http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy.example.com:3128" liferea
	    Will  alter  each  outgoing request to use proxy.example.com on port
	    3128 as proxy. If DNS resolution does not work, an IP address can be
	    used instead.

     $ LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS=1 liferea --debug-net
	    Will alter each outgoing HTTP/S request to randomize Liferea's  ver-
	    sion  and hide the operative system in use.  In addition, prints the
	    HTTP/S User-Agent and all outgoing network requests.

     $ LIFEREA_UA="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0" liferea
	    Will alter each outgoing HTTP/S request to pose as Firefox on Linux.

     $ liferea-add-feed "feed:https://www.example.com/feed.rss"
     $ liferea --add-feed "https://www.example.com/feed.rss"
	    Subscribe to "example.com/feed.rss". Remember to supply a valid  and
	    correctly  escaped	feed  URL as parameter. Please note that Liferea
	    needs to be running for liferea-add-feed to work.

FILES
     $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/liferea/feedlist.opml
	    Contains the current list of subscriptions.

     $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/liferea/liferea.css
	    Stylesheet that can be used to override default HTML style.

     $XDG_DATA_DIR/liferea/liferea.db
	    SQLite3 database with all subscriptions and headlines.

     $XDG_DATA_DIR/liferea/plugins/
	    User-installed plugins are stored here. You can either manually  put
	    plugins here or use the plugin installer in Liferea.
