.SH NAME
nntpsend.ctl \- List of sites to feed via nntpsend
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The file \fIpathetc\fR/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list of sites
to be fed by \fBnntpsend\fR.  Comments begin with a number sign (\f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR) and
continue through the end of the line.  Blank lines and comments are ignored.
All other lines should consist of four fields separated by a colon.
.PP
The first field is the name of the site as specified in the \fInewsfeeds\fR
file.
.PP
The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.
.PP
The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default head truncation size
of the batch file.  If this field is empty, no truncation is performed.
This field may be of the form \f(CW\*(C`\fR\f(CImaxsize\fR\f(CW\-\fR\f(CItruncsize\fR\f(CW\*(C'\fR, in which
case it is passed to \fBshrinkfile\fR as \f(CW\*(C`\-m \fR\f(CImaxsize\fR\f(CW \-s \fR\f(CItruncsize\fR\f(CW\*(C'\fR; otherwise it is of the form \f(CW\*(C`\fR\f(CItruncsize\fR\f(CW\*(C'\fR, in which case it is
passed as \f(CW\*(C`\-s \fR\f(CItruncsize\fR\f(CW\*(C'\fR.
.PP
The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to \fBinnxmit\fR.  Note
that the flag \fB\-a\fR is always given to \fBinnxmit\fR and need not appear here.
If no \fB\-t\fR flag is given in this field or on the \fBnntpsend\fR command line,
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-t 180\*(C'\fR will be given to \fBinnxmit\fR.
.PP
See nntpsend(8) for an example of \fInntpsend.ctl\fR config file.
