598 | ||
599 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
600 | ||
601 | B<yapfaq> posts (one or more) FAQs to Usenet with a certain posting | |
602 | frequency (every n days, weeks, months or years), adding all necessary | |
603 | headers as defined in its config file (by default F<yapfaq.cfg>). | |
604 | ||
605 | =head2 Configuration | |
606 | ||
607 | F<yapfaq.cfg> consists of one or more blocks, separated by C<=====> on | |
608 | a single line, each containing the configuration for one FAQ as a set | |
227afd47 TH |
609 | of definitions in the form of I<param = value>. Everything after a "#" |
610 | sign is ignored so you may comment your configuration file. | |
272b0243 TH |
611 | |
612 | =over 4 | |
613 | ||
614 | =item B<Name> = I<project name> | |
615 | ||
616 | A name referring to your FAQ, also used for generation of a Message-ID. | |
617 | ||
618 | This value must be set. | |
619 | ||
620 | =item B<File> = I<file name> | |
621 | ||
622 | A file containing the message body of your FAQ and all pseudo headers | |
623 | (subheaders in the news.answers style). | |
624 | ||
625 | This value must be set. | |
626 | ||
627 | =item B<Posting-frequency> = I<time period> | |
628 | ||
629 | The posting frequency defines how often your FAQ will be posted. | |
630 | B<yapfaq> will only post your FAQ if this period of time has passed | |
631 | since the last posting. | |
632 | ||
633 | You can declare that time period either in I<B<d>ays> or I<B<w>weeks> | |
634 | or I<B<m>onths> or I<B<y>ears>. | |
635 | ||
636 | This value must be set. | |
637 | ||
638 | =item B<Expires> = I<time period> | |
639 | ||
640 | The period of time after which your message will expire. An Expires | |
641 | header will be calculated adding this time period to today's date. | |
642 | ||
643 | You can declare this time period either in I<B<d>ays> or I<B<w>weeks> | |
644 | or I<B<m>onths> or I<B<y>ears>. | |
645 | ||
646 | This setting is optional; the default is 3 months. | |
647 | ||
648 | =item B<From> = I<author> | |
649 | ||
650 | The author of your FAQ as it will appear in the From header of the | |
651 | message. | |
652 | ||
653 | This value must be set. | |
654 | ||
655 | =item B<Subject> = I<subject> | |
656 | ||
657 | The title of your FAQ as it will appear in the Subject header of the | |
658 | message. | |
659 | ||
660 | You may use the special string C<%LM> which will be replaced with | |
661 | the contents of the Last-Modified subheader in your I<File>. | |
662 | ||
663 | This value must be set. | |
664 | ||
665 | =item B<NGs> = I<newsgroups> | |
666 | ||
667 | A comma-separated list of newsgroup(s) to post your FAQ to as it will | |
668 | appear in the Newsgroups header of the message. | |
669 | ||
670 | This value must be set. | |
671 | ||
672 | =item B<Fup2> = I<newsgroup | poster> | |
673 | ||
674 | A comma-separated list of newsgroup(s) or the special string I<poster> | |
675 | as it will appear in the Followup-To header of the message. | |

677 | This setting is optional. | |
678 | ||
679 | =item B<MID-Format> = I<pattern> | |
680 | ||
681 | A pattern from which the message ID is generated as it will appear in | |
682 | the Message-ID header of the message. | |
683 | ||
684 | You may use the special strings C<%n> for the I<Name> of your project, | |
685 | C<%d> for the date the message is posted, C<%m> for the month and | |
686 | C<%y> for the year, respectively. | |
687 | ||
688 | This value must be set. | |
689 | ||
690 | =item B<Supersede> = I<yes> | |
691 | ||
692 | Add Supersedes header to the message containing the Message-ID header | |
693 | of the last posting. | |
694 | ||
695 | This setting is optional; you should set it to yes or leave it out. | |
696 | ||
697 | =item B<ExtraHeader> = I<additional headers> | |
698 | ||
699 | The contents of I<ExtraHeader> is added verbatim to the headers of | |
700 | your message so you can add custom headers like Approved. | |
701 | ||
702 | This setting is optional. | |

762 | =head3 Status Information |
763 | ||
272b0243 TH |
764 | Information about the last post and about how to form message IDs for |
765 | posts is stored in a file named F<I<project name>.cfg> which will be | |
766 | generated if it does not exist. Each of those status files will | |
767 | contain two lines, the first being the date of the last time the FAQ | |
768 | was posted and the second being the message ID of that incarnation. | |
769 | ||
227afd47 TH |
770 | =head2 Runtime Configuration |
771 | ||
772 | Apart from configuring which FAQ(s) to post you may (re)set some | |
773 | runtime configuration variables via the .rcfile (by default | |
774 | F<.yapfaqrc>). F<.yapfaqrc> must contain one definition in the form of | |
775 | I<param = value> on each line; everything after a "#" sign is ignored. | |

859 | =over 3 | |
860 | ||
a052296f TH |
861 | =item B<-V> (version) |
862 | ||
863 | Print out version and copyright information on B<yapfaq> and exit. | |
864 | ||
272b0243 TH |
865 | =item B<-h> (help) |
866 | ||
ae3b1b79 | 867 | Print this man page and exit. |
272b0243 TH |
868 | |
869 | =item B<-v> (verbose) | |
870 | ||
871 | Print out status information while running to STDOUT. | |
872 | ||
873 | =item B<-p> (post unconditionally) | |
874 | ||
875 | Post (all) FAQs unconditionally ignoring the posting frequency setting. | |
876 | ||
877 | You may want to use this with the B<-f> option (see below). | |
878 | ||
879 | =item B<-d> (dry run) | |
880 | ||
881 | Start B<yapfaq> in simulation mode, i.e. don't post anything and don't | |
882 | update any status information. | |
883 | ||
884 | =item B<-t> I<newsgroup(s) | CONSOLE> (test) | |
885 | ||
886 | Don't post to the newsgroups defined in F<yqpfaq.cfg>, but to the | |
887 | newsgroups given after B<-t> as a comma-separated list or print the | |
888 | FAQs to STDOUT separated by lines of dashes if the special string | |
889 | C<CONSOLE> is given. This can be used to preview what B<yapfaq> would | |
890 | do without embarassing yourself on Usenet. The status files are not | |
891 | updated when this option is given. | |
892 | ||
893 | You may want to use this with the B<-f> option (see below). | |
894 | ||
895 | =item B<-f> I<project name> | |
896 | ||
897 | Just deal with one FAQ only. | |
898 | ||
899 | By default B<yapfaq> will work on all FAQs that are defined in | |
900 | F<yapfaq.cfg>, check whether they are due for posting and - if they | |
901 | are - post them. Consequently when the B<-p> option is set all FAQs | |
902 | will be posted unconditionally. That may not be what you want to | |
903 | achieve, so you can limit the operation of B<yapfaq> to the named FAQ | |
904 | only. | |
905 | ||
b855559e TH |
906 | =item B<-s> I<program> (pipe to script) |
907 | ||
908 | Instead of posting the article(s) to Usenet pipe them to the external | |
909 | I<program> on STDIN (which may post the article(s) then). A return | |
910 | value of 0 will be considered success. | |
911 | ||
227afd47 TH |
912 | =item B<-c> I<.rc file> |
913 | ||
914 | Load another runtime configuration file (.rc file) than F<.yaofaq.rc>. | |
915 | ||
916 | You may for example define another usenet server to post your FAQ(s) | |
917 | to or load another configuration file defining (an)other FAQ(s). | |

921 | =head1 EXAMPLES | |
922 | ||
923 | Post all FAQs that are due for posting: | |
924 | ||
925 | yapfaq | |
926 | ||
927 | Do a dry run, showing which FAQs would be posted: | |
928 | ||
929 | yapfaq -dv | |
930 | ||
931 | Do a test run and print on STDOUT what the FAQ I<myfaq> would look | |
932 | like when posted, regardless whether it is due for posting or not: | |
933 | ||
934 | yapfaq -pt CONSOLE -f myfaq | |
935 | ||
936 | Do a "real" test run and post the FAQ I<myfaq> to I<de.test>, but only | |
937 | if it is due: | |
938 | ||
939 | yapfaq -t de.test -f myfaq | |
940 | ||

961 | =item F<*.cfg> | |
962 | ||
963 | Status data on FAQs. | |
964 | ||
965 | The status files will be created on successful posting if they don't | |
966 | already exist. The first line of the file will be the date of the last | |
967 | time the FAQ was posted and the second line will be the message ID of | |
968 | the last post of that FAQ. | |
