NAME
       archive - Usenet article archiver

SYNOPSIS
       archive [ -a archive ] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -i index ] [ -p newsgroup-list ]
       [ -r ] [ input ]

DESCRIPTION
       Archive makes copies of files specified on its standard input.	It  is
       normally	 run  either  as  a channel feed under innd(8), or by a script
       before expire(8) is run.

       Archive reads the named input file, or standard input  if  no  file  is
       given.	The  input  is	taken  as a sequence of lines; blank lines and
       lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored.  All other lines
       should  specify	the  token of an article to archive.  Every article is
       retrieved from a token, and the Xref: header is used to	determine  the
       target  file in the archive directory.  You can limit the targets taken
       from the Xref: header with the ``-p'' option.

       Files  are  copied  to  a  directory  within  the  archive   directory,
       <patharchive in inn.conf>.   The	 default is to create a hierarchy that
       mimics the input files; intermediate directories	 will  be  created  as
       needed.	For example, if the input token represents article 2211 in the
       newsgroup  comp.sources.unix,  archive  will   generate	 a   copy   in
       <patharchive in inn.conf>/comp/sources/unix/2211.

OPTIONS
       -a archive
	      If  the  ``-a''  flag  is	 used  then its argument specifies the
	      directory to archive in instead of <patharchive in inn.conf>.

       -c     If the ``-c'' flag is used, then directory names will  be	 flat‐
	      tened  as if by the ``-f'' flag; additionally, all posts will be
	      concatenated into a single file , appending if the file  already
	      exists,  with  the  final component of the filename being YYYYMM
	      based on the local execution time of archive.  In this case,  on
	      December	  14,	 1998,	 the   file   would   be   copied   to
	      <patharchive in inn.conf>/comp.sources.unix/199812.

       -f     If the ``-f'' flag is used, then all  directory  names  will  be
	      flattened	 out,  replacing  the  slashes	with periods.  In this
	      case,	 the	  file	    would      be      copied	    to
	      <patharchive in inn.conf>/comp.sources.unix/2211.

       -i     If the ``-i'' flag is used, then archive will append one line to
	      the specified index file for each article that it copies.	  This
	      line will contain the destination name as well as the Message-ID
	      and Subject headers.

       -p newsgroup-list
	      Limits the targets taken from the Xref:  header  to  the	groups
	      specified in newsgroup-list.  The newsgroup-list is a comma-sep‐
	      arated uwildmat(3) list of newsgroups you wish to	 have  archive
	      handle.

       -r     By    default,	archive	   sets	   its	 standard   error   to
	      <pathlog in inn.conf>/errlog.  To suppress this redirection, use
	      the ``-r'' flag.

EXIT STATUS
       If the input is exhausted, archive will exit with a zero status.	 If an
       I/O error occures, it will try to spool its  input,  copying  it	 to  a
       file.   If  there  was  no  input  filename, the standard input will be
       copied to <pathoutgoing in inn.conf>/archive and the program will exit.
       If  an  input  filename was given, a temporary file named input.bch (if
       input is an absolute pathname) or <pathoutgoing in  inn.conf>/input.bch
       (if  the	 filename  does	 not begin with a slash) is created.  Once the
       input is copied, archive will try to rename this temporary file	to  be
       the name of the input file, and then exit.

EXAMPLES
       A  typical  newsfeeds(5)	 entry to archive most source newsgroups is as
       follows:

	      source-archive\
		   :!*,*sources*,!*wanted*,!*.d\
		   :Tc,Wn\
		   :<pathbin in inn.conf>/archive -f -i \
		       <patharchive in inn.conf>/INDEX
