CROSSPOST(8)					     CROSSPOST(8)

NAME
       crosspost - create the links for cross posted articles

SYNOPSIS
       crosspost [ -D dir ] [ -s ] [ file...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Crosspost  reads	 group and article number data from files
       or standard input if none are specified.	 (A  single  dash
       in  the	file list means to read standard input.)  It uses
       this information to create the hard,  or	 symbolic,  links
       for  cross  posted  articles.  Crosspost is designed to be
       used by InterNetNews to create the links as  the	 articles
       come  in.   Normally  innd creates the links but by having
       crosspost create the links innd spends less  time  waiting
       for  disk  IO.  In this mode one would start innd(8) using
       the ``-L'' flag.	 If storageapi is turned on at	inn.conf,
       crosspost is not needed since it is for traditional spool.

       Crosspost expects input in the form:

	      group.name/123 group2.name/456 group3.name/789

       with one line per article.  Any	dots  in  the  input  are
       translated  into	 ``/'' to translate the news group into a
       pathname.  The first field is assumed to be the name of an
       existing	 copy  of the article.	Crosspost will attempt to
       link all the subsequent entries to the  first  using  hard
       links if possible or symbolic links if that fails.

       By  default, crosspost processes its input as an INN chan-
       nel feed written as a ``WR''  entry  in	the  newsfeeds(5)
       file, for example:

	      crosspost!:*:Tc,WR:<PREFIX  specified with --prefix
	      at configure>/bin/crosspost

       To process the history file and re-create  all  the  links
       for all articles use:

	      awk <history -F'	  ' '(NF > 2){print $3}' | cross-
	      post

       (where the ``-F'' is followed by a tab character.)

       The ``-D'' flag can be used to specify where  the  article
       spool	is    stored.	  The	 default   directory   is
       <patharticles in inn.conf>.

       By default crosspost  will  fsync(2)  each  article  after
       updating	 the  links.  The ``-s'' flag can be used to pre-
       vent this.
