# sfeed\_content(1)

view RSS/Atom content

## NAME

**sfeed\_content** – view RSS/Atom content

## SYNOPSIS

**sfeed\_content** \[*file ...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**sfeed\_content** formats feed data (TSV) from [sfeed(1)](/sfeed/1.md) from stdin or for each *file* to stdout as plain-text content. For HTML content it uses [lynx(1)](/lynx/1.md) to convert it to plain-text. At the end it uses the pager to view the output. The **sfeed\_content** script can be used by [sfeed\_curses(1)](/sfeed_curses/1.md) to view content.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

- PAGER

  The pager used to view the content. If it is not set it will use "less -R" by default.

- SFEED\_HTMLCONV

  The program used to convert HTML content to plain-text. If it is not set it will use lynx by default.

## EXIT STATUS

The **sfeed\_content** utility exits 0 on success, and \>0 if an error occurs.

## EXAMPLES

Example:

```
curl -s 'https://codemadness.org/atom_content.xml' | sfeed | sfeed_content
```

The output format will look like this:

```
Title:     The title.
Author:    The line with the author if it is set.
Category:  The line with the categories if it is set.
Link:      The line with the link if it is set.
Enclosure: The line with the enclosure if it is set.
The content converted to plain-text.
<form feed character> if there are multiple items.
```
