NAME
       news - print news items

SYNOPSIS
       news [ -a ] [ -n ] [ item ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       When  invoked  without  options,	 this simple local news service prints
       files that have appeared in /lib/news since last reading,  most	recent
       first,  with each preceded by an appropriate header.  The time of read‐
       ing is recorded.	 The options are

       -a     Print all items, regardless of currency.	The recorded  time  is
	      not changed.

       -n     Report  the  names  of  the current items without printing their
	      contents, and without changing the recorded time.

       Other arguments select particular news items.

       To post a news item, create a file in /lib/news.

       You may arrange to receive news automatically by registering your  mail
       address	in  /sys/lib/subscribers.   A  daemon mails recent news to all
       addresses on the list.
