.SH NAME
usenet \- usenet news subscription file for xtickertape
.SH DESCRIPTION
The usenet news subscription file consists of lines containing
subscription expressions. Empty lines and those beginning with a hash
(#) are ignored. Subscription expressions are of the form:
.TP
.B [not] <group> [ '/' <expr> ]*
.TP
.B group
is a regular expression specifying the group or groups to be
searched, or if preceded by a \fBnot\fP, the groups or groups to be
ignored while searching.
.TP
.B expr
is of the form:
.br
.B <field> <op> <pattern>
.TP
.B field
is one of: \fBfrom\fP, \fBemail\fP, \fBsubject\fP, \fBkeywords\fP,
\fBx-posts\fP
.TP
.B op
is one of:
.br
.B matches
-- matches the regular expression
.br
.B not
-- does not match the regular expression
.br
.B =
-- equals
.br
.B !=
-- does not equal
.br
.B <
-- is less than (x-posts only)
.br
.B >
-- is greater than (x-posts only)
.br
.B <=
-- is less than or equal to (x-posts only)
.br
.B >=
-- is greater than or equal to (x-posts only)
.br
.TP
.B pattern
can be a number, a word (or words) or a regular expression, depending
on the operator.
.PP
The spaces between the \fBfield\fP, the \fBop\fP and the \fBpattern\fP
are not important. Regular expression matches are case sensitive.
All of the expressions on a single line are AND'ed together. Any
character may be escaped by preceding it with a backslash character.
Escaped whitespace is treated as a printing character.
