DREADART(8)

NAME
dreadart - Extract article from spool given message-id or hash / Run validity check on articles referenced by queue file

SYNOPSIS
dreadart [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -f file/- ] [ message-id/h1.h2 ]

DESCRIPTION
DReadArt will look a message-id or hash-code pair up in the dhistory database, access the article file in question, verify that it is a valid spool file, and dump it to the standard output.

-v Tells dreadart to simply verify that it is a valid spool file and not bother dumping it to stdout. Usually used in combination with didump pipingto dreadart. By default, this will not verify header-only feeds... use the -v -h combination to do that.

-h Tells dreadart to only display the article's headers. Also allows dreadart to display articles that were fed-in in a header-only feed (otherwise it refuses to display such articles).

-f file/- Specifies a queue file to obtain message-id's from or the standard input if '-' is specified. You can also pipe the output of didump or didump -f to dreadart as a diagnostic tool.

message-id/h1.h2 Or you can simply specify a message-ID on the command line, enclosed in single quotes, or you can specify a hash key.
