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 ad‐
       dresses on the list.
