###FLAGS: --help Returns this page. --fonts Returns a list of all available fonts and their short codes. -b Prepends a blink tag to the message. -d Runs netyell in debug mode, no http request will be sent. -e Appends an erase tag to the message. -f Parses the first argument as a url-selector string instead of the default (netbrite-shortcode string). -l[secs] Loops the message, sending a recurring request every 5 seconds. Or at whatever interval you specify. -r Puts text in rainbow mode. WARNING: This greatly increases the size of the message which may cause the server to ignore it even though it sends back a 200 status code. -s Surrounds your message in wingbat symbols. -v Returns verbose request output. ###EXAMPLES: WARNING: Don't copy and paste examples from the manual or --help, they have hard line breaks which will give you problems!!

1) Blinking text in rainbow mode.

$ netyell 'What is the speed air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?' -b -r
