NNGREP(1)		    General Commands Manual		     NNGREP(1)

NAME
       nngrep -	grep for news group names (nn)

SYNOPSIS
       nngrep [	-ainprsu ] [ -l	] [ pattern ]

DESCRIPTION
       nngrep can print	various	selections of the available news groups.

       Without	options,  nngrep will list all currently subscribed newsgroups
       whose name matches any of the specified patterns.   If  no  pattern  is
       specified, all subscribed groups	will be	listed.

       The  selection  of  news	groups against which the patterns are matches,
       and subsequently	printed	by nngrep can be limited or expanded using the
       following command line options and arguments:

       -a     Use both subscribed and unsubscribed groups.  Overrides  the  -u
	      option.

       -i     Use  only	ignored	groups,	i.e. which are not in the presentation
	      sequence.

       -n     Use only new groups.  Notice that	nn considers a group to	be new
	      until you	have read at least one article in the  group,  or  you
	      have unsubscribed	to the group.  This means that even reasonable
	      active  news  groups  may	remain "new" for quite some time if it
	      only contains articles which are cross-posted  to	 other	groups
	      which occur earlier in your presentation sequence.

       -p     Use only groups with unread (pending) articles.

       -r     Use only read groups, i.e. without unread	articles.

       -s     Use only groups which are	in the presentation sequence.

       -u     Use only unsubscribed groups.

       These  options  can  be	combined  if they don't	logically exclude each
       other.

       For example, to get the names of	all "source" groups, you can  use  the
       command
	    nngrep source

       You  can	use this to read a specific subset of news groups with nn; for
       example
	    nn `nngrep -sp source`

LONG LISTING
       A long listing of the matched groups can	be requested with the  -l  op-
       tion.  It will include the following information:

       SUBSCR	  Specifies whether the	group is subscribed or not (yes/no).
       NEW	  Specifies whether the	group is new or	not (yes/no).
       UNREAD	  Shows	the number of unread articles in the group (if any).
       SEQUENCE	  Shows	the group's index in the presentation sequence.
       GROUP	  The name of the group.

FILES
       ~/.newsrc    The	record of read articles
       ~/.nn/init   The	presentation sequence
