[svn] * src/protocol.c: Fix bug in Prt_getLn if we should read a line starting with '\0' - according to the leafnode mailing list, this has been seen in the wild. * docs/inews.1,docs/noffle.1,docs/noffle.conf.5, packages/redhat/noffle.spec,src/configfile.h,src/configfile.c, src/noffle.c,src/post.h,src/post.c: Removed use of getopt_long, and added inews mode - the Noffle executable behaves as inews is invoked as inews. This includes adding From: and Organization: headers if necessary - add configs to override defaults for the From: domain and specify the organization. For all my fellow trn-heads out there, and users of any other ageing newsreader that expects inews. Updated RPM spec to create inews link to noffle on install.

22 .SH DESCRIPTION
23
24 .I inews
25 reads a Usenet news article including headers from
26 the named file or standard input if no file is given.
27 It adds some headers and performs some checks. If the article
28 fails the checks (e.g. the article lacks a body, or has no Newsgroups:
29 line), the article is rejected. Otherwise the article is posted.

32 .SH OPTIONS
33
34 .TP
35 .B \-D
36 Debug mode.
37 .I inews
38 adds header lines and performs some checks. If the checks are successful,
39 the article is printed on the standard output and not posted.
40 .TP
41 .B \-O
42 If no
43 .I Organization:
44 header is found, and a value for
45 .I organization
46 is specified in
47 .BR noffle.conf (5),
48 .I inews
49 will add a
50 .I Organization:
51 header using that value. To suppress this behaviour, use the
52 .B \-O
53 flag.
54 .TP
55 .B "\-h \-A \-V \-W"
56 For compatibility with inews programs used with other news servers,
57 .I inews
58 accepts, but ignores, the ``\fB\-h\fP'', ``\fB\-A\fP'', ``\fB\-V\fP''
59 and ``\fB\-W\fP'' flags.
60 .TP
61 .B \-N
62 For compatability with inews programs used with other news servers,
63 the ``\fB\-N\fP'' flag is treated as the ``\fB\-D\fP'' flag.
64 .TP
65 .B \-S
66 Normally, if a file named
67 .I .signature
68 exists in the user's home directory,
69 .I inews
70 will try to append it to the end of the article. If the file cannot be
71 read, the article will not be posted.
72 If the
73 .B \-S
74 flag is given, .signature will not be added.
75
76 .SH NOTES
77
78 .I inews
79 exits with a zero status if the article was successfully posted, or a
80 non-zero status if a check fails or posting fails.
81
82 .PP
83 This
84 .I inews
85 is supplied with the
86 .B NOFFLE
87 news server. It is, in fact, the main
88 .BR noffle (1)
89 executable, and the
90 .I inews
91 program is just a link to the main
92 .I noffle
93 program. If the
94 .I noffle
95 program sees it is being executed under the name
96 .I inews
97 it adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
98
99 .SH FILES
100
101 .B NOFFLE
102 takes its configuration from a configuration file, by default
103 .I /etc/noffle.conf.
104 For a description of this file, see
105 .BR noffle.conf(5).
