## USAGE

samidare is configured by "config.yml" and "t.latest.html" by default.

samidare generates "latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz"

samidare uses "status.rm" and "tmp" to record status of pages.

"config.yml" is a configuration file in YAML format. See EXAMPLES section for its content.

"t.latest.html" is a template file. In the file, "data" variable can be used. See the document of htree library for template directives.

So you can run samidare as follows.

  % cd $HOME\
   % mkdir samidare\
   % cd samidare\
   % vi config.yml\
   % vi t.latest.html            # optional\
   % samidare\
   % w3m latest.html             # view the result

If you want to publish the result, use symbolic link to latest.html and sites.lirs.gz as follows.

  % mkdir public\_html\
   % mkdir public\_html/samidare\
   % cd public\_html/samidare\
   % ln -s ../../samidare/latest.html .\
   % ln -s ../../samidare/sites.lirs.gz .

## EXAMPLES

The configuration file is described in YAML format.

The simplest configuration is list of URLs as follows.

  \- http://www.example.org/blog/\
   \- http://www.example.net/

## FILES

"config.yml" and "t.latest.html" is configuration file.

"latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz" is output.

"status.rm" and "tmp" is used by samidare internally.

## SECURITY

samidare stores pages in tmp directory. If it is published via your web server, XSS (cross site scripting) is possible. So the directory should not be published.
