NAME

       lpost - post articles to local server using rnews.

SYNOPSIS

       lpost [ -v ]

OPTIONS

       -v     verbose, show each article as it is uploaded.

NOTE

       Use  the  batch  function of suck and avoid lpost, this is not the most
       efficient way of doing things.  It is kept solely  as  a  link  to  the
       past, since some people still use it.  It is not compiled nor installed
       by default.  To build and install lpost,  from  the  source  directory,
       run:

               ./configure
               make install_lpost

DESCRIPTION

       lpost  (local  post)  reads  stdin  and  pipes  the  articles to rnews,
       typically found in /usr/lib/news. If it is  located  elsewhere,  change
       #define RNEWS in suck_config.h.  A typical way to use lpost is:

              zcat output.gz | lpost

       This could take a while, so be patient.

EXIT VALUES

       0 on success, -1 on failure.
