LPOST(1)							      LPOST(1)

NAME
       lpost - post articles to local server using rnews.

SYNOPSIS
       lpost [ -v ]

OPTIONS
       -v     verbose, show each article as it is uploaded.

NOTE
       Use  the	 batch	function of suck and avoid lpost, this is not the most
       efficient way of doing things.  It is kept solely  as  a	 link  to  the
       past, since some people still use it.  It is not compiled nor installed
       by default.  To build and install lpost,	 from  the  source  directory,
       run:

	       ./configure
	       make install_lpost

DESCRIPTION
       lpost  (local  post) reads stdin and pipes the articles to rnews, typi‐
       cally found in  /usr/lib/news.  If  it  is  located  elsewhere,	change
       #define RNEWS in suck_config.h.	A typical way to use lpost is:

	      zcat output.gz | lpost

       This could take a while, so be patient.

EXIT VALUES
       0 on success, -1 on failure.

SEE ALSO
       suck(1), rpost(1), testhost(1).
