NAME

   nntpget - get Usenet articles from a remote NNTP server

SYNOPSIS

   nntpget  [  -d dist ] [ -f file ] [ -n newsgroups ] [ -t timestring ] [
   -o ] [ -u file ] [ -v ] host

DESCRIPTION

   Nntpget connects to the NNTP server at the specified host and retrieves
   articles  from  it.  The  Message-ID's of the desired articles are read
   from standard input. The articles are sent to standard output.

OPTIONS

   -o     The ``-o'' option may be used only if the command is executed on
          the host where the innd(8) server is running.  If this option is
          used, nntpget connects to the specified remote host to  retrieve
          articles.  Any article not present in the local history database
          is then fetched from the remote site and offered  to  the  local
          server.

   -v     If  the  ``-v''  option  is used with the ``-o'' option then the
          Message-ID of each article will be sent to standard output as it
          is processed.

   -f     The  list of article Message-ID's is normally read from standard
          input.  If the ``-f'' option is used, then a ``newnews'' command
          is  used  to  retrieve  all articles newer then the modification
          date of the specified file.

   -u     The ``-u'' option is  the  same  except  that  if  the  transfer
          succeeded,  the  file  will  be  updated with a statistics line,
          modifying its  timestamp  so  that  it  can  be  used  in  later
          invocations.

   -t     If  the  ``-t'' option is used, then the specified timestring is
          used as the time and date parameter to the ``newnews'' command.

   -n     If either the ``-t'' or ``-f'' options are used, then the ``-n''
          option  may  be used to specify a newsgroup list. The default is
          ``*''

   -d     The ``-d'' option may be used to  specify  a  distribution  list
          when  using  the  ``-t''  or  ``-f'' options.  The default is no
          distribution list.
