NAME

Liferea - RSS/RDF and Atom news aggregator

SYNOPSIS

liferea [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an RSS/RDF and Atom news aggregator which also supports CDF channels, OCS, and OPML directories. It's intended to be a clone of the Windows-only FeedReader. It can be used to maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse and search through their items, and displays their contents using GtkHTML or Mozilla.

DBUS INTERFACE

To allow integration with other programs Liferea provides a DBUS interface for automatic creation of new subscriptions. The script liferea-add-feed is a convenient way to use this interface. Just pass a valid feed URL as parameter and the feed will be added to the feed list. You can also pass non-feed URLs to use feed auto discovery. Example:

liferea-add-feed "http://www.newsforge.com/newsforge.rss"

Please note that Liferea needs to be running for liferea-add-feed to work.

ENVIRONMENT

http_proxy

If a proxy is not specified in the Liferea preferences (which uses the proxy settings in gconf), then Liferea will use the proxy specified in $http_proxy. $http_proxy should be set to a URI specifying the desired proxy, for example ‘http://proxy.example.com:3128/’.
