=head1 DESCRIPTION
This script create reports on newsgroup usage (number of postings per
group per month) taken from result tables created by
-F<gatherstats.pl>.
-
-The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign
-another month via the B<-m> switch or a time period via the B<-p>
-switch; the latter takes preference.
-
-B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
-that to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
-B<-n> (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in the output by
-adding the B<-s> switch (see below).
+B<gatherstats.pl>.
-Furthermore you can set a threshold via B<-t> so that only newsgroups
-with more postings per month will be included in the report. You can
-invert that by the B<-i> switch so only newsgroups with less than
-I<threshold> postings per month will be included.
+=head2 Features and options
-You can sort the output by number of postings per month instead of the
-default (alphabetical list of newsgroups) by using B<-q>; you can
-reverse the sorting order (from highest to lowest or in reversed
-alphabetical order) by using B<-d>.
+=head3 Time period and newsgroups
-Furthermore, you can create a list of newsgroups that had consistently
-more (or less) than x postings per month during the whole report
-period by using B<-l> (together with B<i> as needed).
+The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign another
+time period or a single month (or drop all time constraints) via the
+B<--month> option (see below).
-Last but not least you can create a "best of" list of the top x
-newsgroups via B<-b> (or a "worst of" list by adding B<i>).
-
-By default, B<groupstats> will dump an alphabetical list of newsgroups,
-one per line, followed by the number of postings in that group, for
-every month. You can change the output format by using B<-o> (see
-below). Captions can be added by setting the B<-c> switch.
+B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
+processing to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
+B<--newsgroups> option (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in
+the output by adding the B<--sums> switch (see below). Optionally
+newsgroups not present in a checkgroups file can be excluded from output,
+sse B<--checkgroups> below.
+
+=head3 Report type
+
+You can choose between different B<--report> types: postings per month,
+average postings per month or all postings summed up; for details, see
+below.
+
+=head3 Upper and lower boundaries
+
+Furthermore you can set an upper and/or lower boundary to exclude some
+results from output via the B<--lower> and B<--upper> options,
+respectively. By default, all newsgroups with more and/or less postings
+per month will be excluded from the result set (i.e. not shown and not
+considered for average and sum reports). You can change the meaning of
+those boundaries with the B<--boundary> option. For details, please see
+below.
+
+=head3 Sorting and formatting the output
+
+By default, all results are grouped by month; you can group results by
+newsgroup instead via the B<--groupy-by> option. Within those groups, the
+list of newsgroups (or months) is sorted alphabetically (or
+chronologically, respectively) ascending. You can change that order (and
+sort by number of postings) with the B<--order-by> option. For details and
+exceptions, please see below.
+
+The results will be formatted as a kind of table; you can change the
+output format to a simple list or just a list of newsgroups and number of
+postings with the B<--format> option. Captions will be added by means of
+the B<--caption> option; all comments (and captions) can be supressed by
+using B<--nocomments>.
+
+Last but not least you can redirect all output to a number of files, e.g.
+one for each month, by submitting the B<--filetemplate> option, see below.
+Captions and comments are automatically disabled in this case.
=head2 Configuration
See doc/INSTALL for an overview of possible configuration options.
-You can override configuration options via the B<-g> switch.

+Set processing period to a single month in YYYY-MM format or to a time
+period between two month in YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM format (two month, separated
+by a colon). By using the keyword I<all> instead, you can set no
+processing period to process the whole database.
-Set processing period to a time period between two month, each in
-YYYY-MM format, separated by a colon. Overrides B<-m>. Ignored if
-B<-a> is set.
-
-=item B<-a> (all)
-
-Set no processing period (process whole database). Overrides B<-m>
-and B<-p>.
-
-=item B<-n> I<newsgroup(s)> (newsgroups)
+=item B<-n>, B<--newsgroups> I<newsgroup(s)>
Limit processing to a certain set of newsgroups. I<newsgroup(s)> can
be a single newsgroup name (de.alt.test), a newsgroup hierarchy
de.test:de.alt.test:de.newusers.*
-=item B<-t> I<threshold> (threshold)
+=item B<-s>, B<--sums|--nosums> (sum per hierarchy level)
-Only include newsgroups with more than I<threshold> postings per
-month. Can be inverted by the B<-i> switch so that only newsgroups
-with less than I<threshold> postings will be included.
+Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
+example:
-This setting will be ignored if B<-l> or B<-b> is set.
+ de.alt.ALL 10
+ de.alt.test 5
+ de.alt.admin 7
-=item B<-l> I<level> (level)
+See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
-Only include newsgroups with more than I<level> postings per
-month, every month during the whole reporting period. Can be inverted
-by the B<-i> switch so that only newsgroups with less than I<level>
-postings every single month will be included. Output will be ordered
-by newsgroup name, followed by month.
+=item B<--checkgroups> I<filename>
-This setting will be ignored if B<-b> is set. Overrides B<-t> and
-can't be used together with B<-q>, B<-d> or B<-f>.
+Restrict output to those newgroups present in a file in checkgroups format
+(one newgroup name per line; everything after the first whitespace on each
+line is ignored). All other newsgroups will be removed from output.
-=item B<-b> I<n> (best of)
+=item B<-r>, B<--report> I<default|average|sums>
-Create a list of the I<n> newsgroups with the most postings over the
-whole reporting period. Can be inverted by the B<-i> switch so that a
-list of the I<n> newsgroups with the least postings over the whole
-period is generated. Output will be ordered by sum of postings.
+Choose the report type: I<default>, I<average> or I<sums>
-Overrides B<-t> and B<-l> and can't be used together with B<-q>, B<-d>
-or B<-f>. Output format is set to I<pretty> (see below).
+By default, B<groupstats> will report the number of postings for each
+newsgroup in each month. But it can also report the average number of
+postings per group for all months or the total sum of postings per group
+for all months.
-=item B<-i> (invert)
+For report types I<average> and I<sums>, the B<group-by> option has no
+meaning and will be silently ignored (see below).
-Used in conjunction with B<-t>, B<-l> or B<-b> to set a lower
-threshold or level or generate a "bottom list" instead of a top list.
+=item B<-l>, B<--lower> I<lower boundary>
-=item B<-s> (sum per hierarchy level)
+Set the lower boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
-Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
-example:
+=item B<-l>, B<--upper> I<upper boundary>
- de.alt.ALL 10
- de.alt.test 5
- de.alt.admin 7
+Set the upper boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
-See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
+=item B<-b>, B<--boundary> I<boundary type>
+
+Set the boundary type to one of I<default>, I<level>, I<average> or
+I<sums>.
+
+By default, all newsgroups with more postings per month than the upper
+boundary and/or less postings per month than the lower boundary will be
+excluded from further processing. For the default report that means each
+month only newsgroups with a number of postings between the boundaries
+will be displayed. For the other report types, newsgroups with a number of
+postings exceeding the boundaries in all (!) months will not be
+considered.
+
+For example, lets take a list of newsgroups like this:
+
+ ----- 2012-01:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.misc 6
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+ ----- 2012-02:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.misc 8
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
+ ----- 2012-03:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.misc 24
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 83
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 36
+
+With C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --report sums>,
+you'll get the following result:
-=item B<-o> I<output type> (output format)
+ ----- All months:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 124
-Set output format. Default is I<pretty>, which will print a header for
-each new month, followed by an alphabetical list of newsgroups, each
-on a new line, followed by the number of postings in that month.
-B<groupstats> will try to align newsgroup names and posting counts.
-Usage of B<-b> will force this format; it cannot be used together with
-B<-f>.
+de.comp.datenbanken.misc has not been considered even though it has 38
+postings in total, because it has less than 25 postings in every single
+month. If you want to list all newsgroups with more than 25 postings U<in
+total>, you'll have to set the boundary type to I<sum>, see below.
-I<dump> format is used to create an easily parsable output consisting
-of an alphabetical list of newsgroups, each on a new line, followed by
-the number of postings in that month, without any alignment. This
-default format can't be used with time periods of more than one month.
-Usage of B<-f> will force this format.
+A boundary type of I<level> will show only those newsgroups - at all -
+that satisfy the boundaries in each and every single month. With the above
+list of newsgroups and
+C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary level --report sums>,
+you'll get this result:
-I<list> format is like I<dump>, but will print the month in front of
-the newsgroup name.
+ ----- All months:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
-I<dumpgroup> format can only be use with a group list (see B<-n>) of
-exactly one newsgroup and is like I<dump>, but will output months,
-followed by the number of postings.
+de.comp.datenbanken.mysql has not been considered because it had less than
+25 postings in 2012-02.
-=item B<-c> (captions)
+You can use that to get a list of newsgroups that have more (or less) then
+x postings during the whole reporting period.
-Add captions to output (reporting period, newsgroups list, threshold
-and so on).
+A boundary type of I<average> will show only those newsgroups - at all -that
+satisfy the boundaries on average. With the above list of newsgroups and
+C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary avg --report sums>,
+you'll get this result:
-This setting will be ignored if B<-f> is set.
+ ----- All months:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
-=item B<-q> (quantity of postings)
+The average number of postings in the three groups is:
-Sort by number of postings instead of by newsgroup names.
+ de.comp.datenbanken.misc 12.67
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 97.67
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 48.33
-Cannot be used with B<-l> or B<-b>.
+Last but not least, a boundary type of I<sums> will show only those
+newsgroups - at all - that satisfy the boundaries with the total sum of
+all postings during the reporting period. With the above list of
+newsgroups and
+C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary sum --report sums>,
+you'll finally get this result:
-=item B<-d> (descending)
+ ----- All months:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.misc 38
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
-Change sort order to descending.
-Cannot be used with B<-l> or B<-b>.
+=item B<-g>, B<--group-by> I<month[-desc]|newsgroups[-desc]>
-=item B<-f> I<filename template> (output file)
+By default, all results are grouped by month, sorted chronologically in
+ascending order, like this:
-Save output to file instead of dumping it to STDOUT. B<groupstats>
-will create one file for each month, with filenames composed by
-adding year and month to the I<filename template>, for example
-with B<-f> I<stats>:
+ ----- 2012-01:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+ ----- 2012-02:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
- stats-2010-01
- stats-2010-02
+The results can be grouped by newsgroups instead via
+B<--group-by> I<newsgroup>:
+
+ ----- de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access:
+ 2012-01 84
+ 2012-02 126
+ ----- de.comp.datenbanken.mysql:
+ 2012-01 88
+ 2012-02 21
+
+By appending I<-desc> to the group-by option parameter, you can reverse
+the sort order - e.g. B<--group-by> I<month-desc> will give:
+
+ ----- 2012-02:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
+ ----- 2012-01:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+
+Average and sums reports (see above) will always be grouped by months;
+this option will therefore be ignored.
+
+=item B<-o>, B<--order-by> I<default[-desc]|postings[-desc]>
+
+Within each group (a single month or single newsgroup, see above), the
+report will be sorted by newsgroup names in ascending alphabetical order
+by default. You can change the sort order to descending or sort by number
+of postings instead.
+
+=item B<-f>, B<--format> I<pretty|list|dump>
+
+Select the output format, I<pretty> being the default:
+
+ ----- 2012-01:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+ ----- 2012-02:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
+
+I<list> format looks like this:
+
+ 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+ 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
+
+And I<dump> format looks like this:
+
+ # 2012-01:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
+ # 2012-02:
+ de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
+ de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
+
+You can remove the comments by using B<--nocomments>, see below.
+
+=item B<-c>, B<--captions|--nocaptions>
+
+Add captions to output, like this:
+
+ ----- Report for 2012-01 to 2012-02 (number of postings for each month)
+ ----- Newsgroups: de.comp.datenbanken.*
+ ----- Threshold: 10 => x <= 20 (on average)
+ ----- Grouped by Newsgroups (ascending), sorted by number of postings descending
+
+False by default.
+
+=item B<--comments|--nocomments>
+
+Add comments (group headers) to I<dump> and I<pretty> output. True by default.
+
+Use I<--nocomments> to suppress anything except newsgroup names/months and
+numbers of postings. This is enforced when using B<--filetemplate>, see below.
+
+=item B<--filetemplate> I<filename template>
+
+Save output to file(s) instead of dumping it to STDOUT. B<groupstats> will
+create one file for each month (or each newsgroup, accordant to the
+setting of B<--group-by>, see above), with filenames composed by adding
+year and month (or newsgroup names) to the I<filename template>, for
+example with B<--filetemplate> I<stats>:
+
+ stats-2012-01
+ stats-2012-02
... and so on
-This setting will be ignored if B<-l> or B<-b> is set. Output format
-is set to I<dump> (see above).
+B<--nocomments> is enforced, see above.
-=item B<-g> I<table> (postings per group table)
+=item B<--groupsdb> I<database table>
Override I<DBTableGrps> from F<newsstats.conf>.
