[svn] * src/client.c: Return correct status from Client_postArt() and add
function comment detailing what return code should be, because it's
not obvious that the return code should report success when the
posting failed for reasons other than connection problems. This should fix
problem with failing posting stopping fetches. Thanks to Dan Jacobson
for spotting this.
* src/client.c: Fix problemette with filter discards not updating remote
group article count and so the overview being refetched until
and article appears that doesn't fall foul of the filter and thus does
update the remove group 'next article' marker. Thanks to Dan Jacobson
for spotting this.

.TH inews 1 .\" $Id: inews.1 227 2000-10-26 21:21:13Z bears $ .SH NAME inews \- Send a Usenet article. .SH SYNOPSIS .B inews [ .B \-D ] [ .B \-O ] [ .B \-S ] [ .I input ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I inews reads a Usenet news article including headers from the named file or standard input if no file is given. It adds some headers and performs some checks. If the article fails the checks (e.g. the article lacks a body, or has no Newsgroups: line), the article is rejected. Otherwise the article is posted. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-D Debug mode. .I inews adds header lines and performs some checks. If the checks are successful, the article is printed on the standard output and not posted. .TP .B \-O If no .I Organization: header is found, and a value for .I organization is specified in .BR noffle.conf (5), .I inews will add a .I Organization: header using that value. To suppress this behaviour, use the .B \-O flag. .TP .B "\-h \-A \-V \-W" For compatibility with inews programs used with other news servers, .I inews accepts, but ignores, the ``\fB\-h\fP'', ``\fB\-A\fP'', ``\fB\-V\fP'' and ``\fB\-W\fP'' flags. .TP .B \-N For compatability with inews programs used with other news servers, the ``\fB\-N\fP'' flag is treated as the ``\fB\-D\fP'' flag. .TP .B \-S Normally, if a file named .I .signature exists in the user's home directory, .I inews will try to append it to the end of the article. If the file cannot be read, the article will not be posted. If the .B \-S flag is given, .signature will not be added. .SH NOTES .I inews exits with a zero status if the article was successfully posted, or a non-zero status if a check fails or posting fails. .PP This .I inews is supplied with the .B NOFFLE news server. It is, in fact, the main .BR noffle (1) executable, and the .I inews program is just a link to the main .I noffle program. If the .I noffle program sees it is being executed under the name .I inews it adjusts its behaviour accordingly. .SH FILES .B NOFFLE takes its configuration from a configuration file, by default .I /etc/noffle.conf.
