# opml2snow(1)

snownews OPML subsription file import/export utility

## NAME

opml2snow - snownews OPML subsription file import/export utility

## SYNOPSIS

**opml2snow** \[*options*\] *file.opml* ...

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **opml2snow** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**opml2snow** is a PERL script that will convert an OPML (*Outline Processor Markup Language*) list of RSS subscriptions to the snownews format or export snownews' internal subscription format to an OPML file. It accepts input either on stdin, or as a list of files on the command-line. By default it will print to stdout, but if you want to append the output to your subsription list instead, redirect the output with \>\> ~/.snownews/url

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  Show a few brief usage examples.

- **--export \[urls file\]**

  Export snownews' subscription list to an OPML file. It reads from ~/.snownews/urls by default if you don't pass an optional file location.
