[svn] * src/client.c: Only bail out of fetching multiple articles if the
connection fails. If we do get a status from the upstream server
note it and see what is reported for the next article. Otherwise
failure to retrieve one article will cause all successive article
fetches to fail even through they would succeed if tried.
* src/lock.c: Fix assert in lazy locking. If another noffle signalled us
to release the lock at the next close, and then repeats the signal so that
it arrives during LOCK_closeDatabases, the signal handler was trying
to close the databases again.

.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.
