NAME
       cvtbatch - convert Usenet batch file to INN format

SYNOPSIS
       cvtbatch [ -w items ]

DESCRIPTION
       Cvtbatch	 reads	standard input as a series of lines, con-
       verts each line, and writes it to standard output.  It  is
       used  to	 convert  simple batchfiles that contain just the
       article name to INN  batchfiles	that  contain  additional
       information about each article.

       Each  line  is  taken as the pathname to a Usenet article.
       If it is not an absolute pathname, it is taken relative to
       the  spool  directory,  <patharticles in inn.conf>.  (Only
       the first word of each line is parsed; anything	following
       whitespace is ignored.)

OPTIONS
       -w     The  ``-w''  flag	 specifies  how	 each output line
	      should be written.  The items for this flag  should
	      be chosen from the ``W'' flag items as specified in
	      newsfeeds(5).  They may be chosen from the  follow-
	      ing set:
		   b	Size of article in bytes
		   f	full pathname of article
		   m	article message-id
		   n	relative pathname of article

       If  the	input  file consists of a series of Message-ID's,
       then use grephistory(1) with the ``-s''	flag  piped  into
       cvtbatch.
