<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><command>aub</command> accesses news either remotely via the
NNTP protocol or locally, by scanning a news spool directory,
and searches for new pieces of split, encoded binaries that
have recently been received. Binaries are expected to contain
subject lines conforming to de-facto Usenet standards; aub
may not be able to identify pieces of binaries which are not
named according to accepted conventional practice. If new
binaries are found, aub retrieves, organizes and decodes them,
leaving the decoded files in a configurable location.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>OPTIONS</title>
<para>Most of aub's configuration is done in the it's main
configuration file, $HOME/.aubconf, which is required. Invoke
aub with the -M flag to learn about the structure of
configuration files. This will also present a full discussion
of aub and its capabilities. aub understands the following
options, all of which are discussed in detail in the internal
documentation:</para>
