NNTIDY(1)							     NNTIDY(1)

NAME
       nntidy - tidy your personal .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS
       nntidy [ -aciNQrsuv ]  [ group ]...

DESCRIPTION
       nntidy will clean out non-existing groups, adjust obviously wrong arti‐
       cle numbers, and remove badly formed lines from your .newsrc file.

       It may optionally  remove  ignored  groups,  unsubscribed  groups,  and
       groups  which  are not part of your presentation sequence or the groups
       specified on the command line.

       You should run nntidy if your rc file has been corrupted for some  rea‐
       son.

OPTIONS
       -a     Equivalent to -cisu.

       -c     Remove  unrecognized lines.  This will also remove the `options'
	      line used by some older news readers, such as readnews(1)

       -i     Remove entries for groups which are  ignored  in	the  database,
	      e.g.  entries marked with `X' in the GROUPS file.

       -r     Remove entries for unsubscribed groups.

       -s     Remove  entries which are not included in the group presentation
	      sequence defined in the init file.  If one or  more  groups  are
	      specified	 on  the  command  line,  entries not matched by these
	      groups (and their subgroups etc) will be removed.
	      Notice that depending on	how  you  construct  the  presentation
	      sequence,	 this may cause unsubscribed groups to be removed from
	      .newsrc, but this will not normally happen.

       -u     Truncate entries for unsubscribed groups, by removing the	 arti‐
	      cle  numbers  and	 leaving  only the news group name and the `!'
	      mark.

       -v     Verbose operation.  Reports each	change	made  to  the  .newsrc
	      file.

       -N     No update mode.  The requested operations are performed, but the
	      result is not written back to disk.  This can be used  with  the
	      -v option to see whether tidying is required.

       -Q     Quiet operation.	The version information is not printed.

FILES
       ~/.newsrc	The record of read articles
       ~/.newsrc.tidy	The original rc file before tidy
