SFEED_GOPHER(1)

NAME
sfeed_gopher - format feed data to Gopher files

SYNOPSIS
sfeed_gopher [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
sfeed_gopher formats feed data (TSV) from sfeed(1) from stdin or for each file to stdout in the raw Gopher output format.

If one or more file arguments are specified then the basename of the file is used as the feed name in the output. sfeed_gopher creates an index file named "index" and for each feed it creates a file with the same name as the basename of the feed file.

If no file arguments are specified and so the data is read from stdin then the data is written to stdout and no files are written.

Items with a timestamp from the last day compared to the system time at the time of formatting are counted and marked as new. This value might be overridden through environment variables. Items are marked as new with the prefix "N" at the start of the line. If an index file is used then feeds with new items are marked as new with the prefix "N" at the start of the line.

ENVIRONMENT

SFEED_GOPHER_PATH
    This environment variable can be used as the prefix for each path in the index file. The default is "/".

SFEED_GOPHER_HOST
    This environment variable can be used as the Gopher Host field. The default is "127.0.0.1".

SFEED_GOPHER_PORT
    This environment variable can be used as the Gopher Port field. The default is "70".

SFEED_NEW_AGE
    Overwrite the maximum age in seconds to mark feeds as new. By default this is 86400, which equals one day.
