clinntp is a cli nntp news reader written using node.js. It can be configured using its options and supports saving the current configuration.

• node
• npm

npm install -g clinntp

clinntp [options]

• -l, --limit <news limit>

  • Limit the number of news you load when choosing a newsgroup
  • Default: Loads all of the news in the selected newsgroup

• -p, --port <port number>

  • Sets the port number to use when connecting to the host
  • Default: Set to 119

• -h, --host <host address>

  • Sets the address to use when connecting to the host
  • Default: Set to 'news.epita.fr'

• -n, --newsgroup <match regex>

  • Sets the regex to use when looking up newsgroups
  • Default: Set to '*'

• -H, --help

  • Prints clinntp help menu with options info

• -v, --version

  • Prints clinntp version number

• -s, --save

  • Saves the current settings as defaults

• -c, --clear

  • Resets the settings to initial default

• -d, --dryrun

  • Tries to connect with the current or specified settings without fetching the news

If multiple boolean options are set the precedence is as follows:

1. version: -v, --version
2. help: -H, --help
3. clear: -c, --clear
4. save: -s, --save

This means that if the -v and -H options are set at the same time, clinntp will apply the version option and quit as version's priority is higher than help's.

clinntp -l 4 -s

• Add option to save current configuration as default
• Add advanced menu navigation using keyboard
• Implement a better selection interface
