Synopsis:

This program generates [RSS 2.0 http://www.rssboard.org\/rss-2-0-1-rv-6] feeds based on command line arguments. Use it to create and update feeds from shell scripts, build scripts, cron jobs, CGIs, or other programs instead of using an RSS or Atom library.

Commands and args:

new-item: -iFILE (required, or -u): The feed to add this item to -oFILE (optional): otherwise, stdout -tTitle (required) -dDescription (required, or -D, or --pipe-mode) --pipe-mode: read description from STDIN -lhttp://example.com (optional): Item link -DFILE: read description from a file -uFILE (optional): Update this file, not valid with -i or -o. Same as -iFILE == -oFILE --limit (optional): Keep the number of items fixed. Drop the last item when adding a new item. Doesn't compare dates yet. Taken from the front since that's how we add them. --limit=NUM (optional): keep only the last NUM items.

new-feed: -oFILE (optional): otherwise, stdout -tTitle (required): feed title -dDescription (required): feed description -lhttp://example.com (required): Feed link

EXAMPLES:

See also the patterns directory.

create an empty feed:

./feed-cli new-feed -tTitleOfFeed -d"Feed Description" -o/tmp/feed.xml -lhttp://www.syntaxpolice.org

add an item to that feed

./feed-cli new-item -t"entry of the day" -d"This is a description of this feed item." -u/tmp/feed.xml -lhttp://www.syntaxpolice.org

pipe a command into a feed item

ls -l | ./feed-cli new-item --pipe-mode --pre -t"another entry of the day" -u/tmp/feed.xml -lhttp://www.syntaxpolice.org
