# DESCRIPTION: A rewrite of Ken Fallon's script to collect data about Linux
# podcasts. Ken's script was inspired by Dann Washko's site at
# http://www.thelinuxlink.net/ and prepared for OggCamp 12 in
# August 2012 where it was used to generate handouts.
#
# The script has not been developed since 2014, but is now in
# use in 2020 helping to prepare podcast information for
# a FOSDEM visit under the heading of "Free Culture Podcasts".
# See the files 'Journal.adoc' (AsciiDoctor) and 'Journal.html'
# (created with Pandoc) in the same directory as this script for
# details of what has been done to develop the original design.

=head1 NAME
feedWatcher - watch a collection of podcast feeds
=head1 VERSION
This documentation refers to I<feedWatcher> version 0.1.1
2022-11-19 21:27:51 +00:00
=head1 USAGE
feedWatcher [-help] [-load=FILE] [-delete=FILE] [-[no]scan] [-[no]report]
[-check[=mode]] [-out=FILE] [-json[=FILE]] [-opml[=FILE]] [-template=FILE]
2022-11-19 21:27:51 +00:00
[-[no]silent] [-config=FILE] [-debug=N] [URL ...]
# Load URLs from a file, perform checks and redirect output to standard
# output and a named file
./feedWatcher -load=feedWatcher_dumped_URLs.txt -check=auto | \
tee load_$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
# Generate Markdown output with a template writing to a named file
./feedWatcher -tem=feedWatcher_3.tpl -out=feedWatcher.mkd
2022-11-19 21:27:51 +00:00
=head1 ARGUMENTS
Arguments are optional and may consist of an arbitrarily long list of URLs to
be processed and possibly added to the database by the script.
These URLs are prepended to any which may be provided through the
B<-load=FILE> option described below. The script makes sure the URL collection
contains no duplicates.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<-help>
Prints a brief help message describing the usage of the program, and then exits.
The full documentation can be displayed with the command:
perldoc -oman feedWatcher
Alternatively, use the option B<-manpage>
=item B<-manpage>
Prints the entire documentation for the script. Note that this mode uses a
simpler type of formatter than I<perldoc>.
=item B<-load=FILE>
Defines a file from which new URLs are to be added to the database. These URLs
are checked in various ways before adding to the database. If arguments are
provided when the script is invoked these URLs are appended to the argument list.
=item B<-delete=FILE>
Defines a file from which a list of URLs is to be read which are to be
deleted from the database.
Note that it is possible (though inadvisable) to both add and delete an URL in
the same run of the script. The URL will first be added (from the load file or
argument list) then deleted. This is a pointless exercise which wastes
bandwidth, so don't do it!
=item B<-[no]scan>
This option (B<-scan>) causes the URLs stored in the database to be scanned
and updated. The negated form, which is also the default behaviour of the
script, (B<-noscan>) omits the scan.
NOTE: This function is not implemented yet.
=item B<-out=FILE>
This option defines an output file to receive outputi from reporting
functions. If the option is omitted the data is written to STDOUT, allowing it
to be redirected if required. This option does not cause transactional
listings to be captured.
2022-11-19 21:27:51 +00:00
=item B<-[no]check>
This option (B<-check>) causes each feed which is being to be checked against
the script user to check that it's OK to add it. The script reports the
I<copyright> field and requests a I<y> or I<n> response.
=item B<-[no]report>
This option (B<-report>) causes a report of the contents of the database to be
generated. The negated form, which is also the default behaviour of the
script, (B<-noreport>) omits the report.
NOTE: The report is currently very simple.
=item B<-json[=FILE]>
This option, which may be omitted, defines the location where the feed and
episode details are to be written. If omitted no JSON data is written.
If the option is given as B<-json=FILE> the data is written to the nominated
file.
If the B<=FILE> portion is omitted a default name of 'feedWatcher.json' is
used.
=item B<-opml[=FILE]>
This option, which may be omitted, defines the location where the feed details
are to be written. If omitted no OPML data is written.
If the option is given as B<-opml=FILE> the data is written to the nominated
file.
If the B<=FILE> portion is omitted a default name of 'feedWatcher.opml' is
used.
=item B<-template=FILE>
This option defines the template used to generate a form of the feed data. The
template is written using the B<Template> toolkit language.
If the file name is omitted then the script uses the file B<feedWatcher.tpl>
in the same directory as the script. If this file does not exist then the
script will exit with an error message.
For convenience B<feedWatcher.tpl> can be made a soft link which points to the
file which is the current default. This allows the development of versions
without changing the usual way this script is run.
=item B<-config=FILE>
This option allows an alternative configuration file to be used. This file
defines the location of the database, its name and the username and
password to be used to access it. This feature permits a test database to be
used, or for two more sets of feeds to be processed.
See the CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT section below for the file format.
If the option is omitted the default file is used: B<feedWatcher.cfg>
=item B<-debug=N>
This option selects the debug level, resulting in a lot of output.
0 (the default) No debug output
1 Dumps the list of feeds found in an HTML download.
Also shows the SQL query which will result in the insertion of a new
row into the database table I<urls>.
2 Dumps the collected data which is destined to be written to the database
3 Dumps the contents of feeds during analysis

=head1 DESCRIPTION
A full description of the application and its features.
May include numerous subsections (i.e. =head2, =head3, etc.)
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
A list of every error and warning message that the application can generate
(even the ones that will "never happen"), with a full explanation of each
problem, one or more likely causes, and any suggested remedies. If the
application generates exit status codes (e.g. under Unix) then list the exit
status associated with each error.
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
A configuration file is used by the script. By default the name is
B<feedWatcher.cfg> (though, what is searched for is derived from the name of
the script). An alternative configuration file can be provided, specified
through the B<-config=FILE> option.
The file conforms to the format managed by the B<Config::General> module:
<database>
type = SQLite
file = feedWatcher.db
user =
password =
</database>
The B<type> value should be I<SQLite>, though it might be possible to use
other database types.
The B<file> value is the name of the database, which can include the
directory path.
The B<user> and B<password> values are not currently required, but if
authentication to the database was required it would be implemented this way.
