NAME
archive - Usenet article archiver
SYNOPSIS
archive [-cfr] [-a archive] [-i index] [-p pattern] [input]
DESCRIPTION
archive makes copies of files specified on its standard input. It is
normally run either as a channel feed under innd or by a script before
news.daily 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 (or some other directory given with -a). The
default is to create a hierarchy that mimics a traditional news spool
storage of the given articles; intermediate directories will be created
as needed. For example, if the input token represents article 2211 in
the newsgroup comp.sources.unix, archive will by default store the
article as:
comp/sources/unix/2211
in the archive area. This can be modified with the -c and -f options.
OPTIONS
-a archive
If the -a flag is given, its argument specifies the root of the
archive area, instead of patharchive in inn.conf.
-c If the -c flag is given, directory names will be flattened as
described under the -f option. Then, additionally, all posts will
be concatenated into a single file, appending to that file if it
already exists. The file name will be "YYYYMM", formed from the
current time when archive is run. In other words, if given an
article in comp.sources.unix on December 14th, 1998, the article
would be appended to the file:
comp.sources.unix/199812
in the archive area.
Articles will be separated by a line containing only "-----------".
-f If the -f flag is used, directory names will be flattened,
replacing the slashes with the periods. In other words, article
2211 in comp.sources.unix will be written to:
comp.sources.unix/2211
in the archive area.
-i index
If the -i flag is used, archive will append one line to the file
index for each article that it archives. This line will contain
the destination file name, the Message-ID: header, and the Subject:
header of the message, separated by spaces. If either header is
missing (normally not possible if the article was accepted by
innd), it will be replaced by "<none>". The headers will be
transformed using the same rules as are used to generate overview
data (unfolded and then with tabs, CR, and LF replaced by spaces).
-p pattern
Limits the targets taken from the Xref: header to the groups
specified in pattern. pattern is a uwildmat(3) pattern matching
newsgroups that you wish to have archive handle.
-r By default, archive sets its standard error to pathlog/errlog. To
suppress this redirection, use the -r flag.
RETURN VALUE
If the input is exhausted, archive will exit with a zero status. If an
I/O error occurs, 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/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/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>/archive -f -i <patharchive>/INDEX
Replace <pathbin> and <patharchive> with the appropriate paths.

DESCRIPTION
Path names supported by archive_entry(3):
hardlink Destination of the hardlink.
link Update only. For a symlink, update the destination.
Otherwise, make the entry a hardlink and alter the
destination for that.
pathname Path in the archive
sourcepath Path on the disk for use by archive_read_disk(3).
symlink Destination of the symbolic link.
Path names can be provided in one of three different ways:
char * Multibyte strings in the current locale.
wchar_t * Wide character strings in the current locale. The accessor
functions are named XXX_w().
UTF-8 Unicode strings encoded as UTF-8. These are convenience
functions to update both the multibyte and wide character
strings at the same time.
The sourcepath is a pure filesystem concept and never stored in an
archive directly.
For that reason, it is only available as multibyte string. The link path
is a convenience function for conditionally setting hardlink or symlink
destination. It doesn't have a corresponding get accessor function.
archive_entry_set_XXX() is an alias for archive_entry_copy_XXX().
