NNGREP(1)							     NNGREP(1)

NAME
       nngrep - grep for news group names (nn)

SYNOPSIS
       nngrep [ -ainprsu ] [ -l ] [ pattern ]

DESCRIPTION
       nngrep can print various selections of the available news groups.

       Without	options,  nngrep will list all currently subscribed newsgroups
       whose name matches any of the specified patterns.   If  no  pattern  is
       specified, all subscribed groups will be listed.

       The  selection  of  news groups against which the patterns are matches,
       and subsequently printed by nngrep can be limited or expanded using the
       following command line options and arguments:

       -a     Use  both	 subscribed and unsubscribed groups.  Overrides the -u
	      option.

       -i     Use only ignored groups, i.e. which are not in the  presentation
	      sequence.

       -n     Use only new groups.  Notice that nn considers a group to be new
	      until you have read at least one article in the  group,  or  you
	      have unsubscribed to the group.  This means that even reasonable
	      active news groups may remain "new" for quite some  time	if  it
	      only  contains  articles	which are cross-posted to other groups
	      which occur earlier in your presentation sequence.

       -p     Use only groups with unread (pending) articles.

       -r     Use only read groups, i.e. without unread articles.

       -s     Use only groups which are in the presentation sequence.

       -u     Use only unsubscribed groups.

       These options can be combined if	 they  don't  logically	 exclude  each
       other.

       For  example,  to get the names of all "source" groups, you can use the
       command
	    nngrep source

       You can use this to read a specific subset of news groups with nn;  for
       example
	    nn `nngrep -sp source`

LONG LISTING
       A  long	listing	 of  the  matched  groups can be requested with the -l
       option.	It will include the following information:

       SUBSCR	  Specifies whether the group is subscribed or not (yes/no).
       NEW	  Specifies whether the group is new or not (yes/no).
       UNREAD	  Shows the number of unread articles in the group (if any).
       SEQUENCE	  Shows the group's index in the presentation sequence.
       GROUP	  The name of the group.

FILES
       ~/.newsrc    The record of read articles
       ~/.nn/init   The presentation sequence
