Liferea - RSS/RDF and Atom news aggregator

liferea [OPTIONS]

Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an RSS/RDF and Atom news aggregator which also supports CDF channels, OCS, and OPML directories. It's intended to be a clone of the Windows-only FeedReader. It can be used to maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse and search through their items and displays their contents.

Liferea options:

--version

    output version information and exit

--help

    display a option overview and exit

--mainwindow-state=STATE
    Start Liferea with its mainwindow in STATE: shown, iconified, hidden

--debug-all

    Print debugging messages of all types

--debug-cache

    Print debugging messages for the cache handling

--debug-conf

    Print debugging messages of the configuration handling

--debug-gui

    Print debugging messages of all GUI functions

--debug-html

    Enables HTML rendering debugging. Each time Liferea renders HTML output it will also dump the generated HTML into ~/.liferea_1.6/output.xhtml.

--debug-parsing

    Print debugging messages of all parsing functions

--debug-performance

    Print debugging messages when a function takes too long to process

--debug-plugins

    Print debugging messages for the plugin loading

--debug-trace

    Print debugging messages when entering/leaving functions

--debug-update

    Print debugging messages of the feed update processing

--debug-verbose

    Print verbose debugging messages

To allow integration with other programs Liferea profives a DBUS interface for automatic creation of new subscriptions. The script liferea-add-feed is a convenient way to use this interface. Just pass a valid feed URL as parameter and the feed will be added to the feed list. You can also pass non-feed URLs to use feed auto discovery. Example: liferea-add-feed "http://www.newsforge.com/newsforge.rss" Please note that Liferea needs to be running for liferea-add-feed to work.

http_proxy

    If a proxy is not specified in the Liferea preferences (which uses the proxy settings in gconf), then Liferea will use the proxy specified in $http_proxy. $http_proxy should be set to a URI specifying the desired proxy, for example (oqhttp://proxy.example.com:3128/(cq.
