.SH NAME
dailystrips \- view web comic strips more conveniently
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dailystrips
.RI [ options ] " stripname" ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B dailystrips
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
\fBdailystrips\fP is a Perl script that gathers online comic strips for more
convenient viewing. When in normal mode, it creates an HTML page that
references the strips directly, and when in local mode, it also downloads
the images to your local disk. In local mode, it is intended to be run from
cron, and for your own private use only \-\- redistribution of the images
may be illegal.
.SH COMIC STRIP DEFINITIONS
There are three files from which the definitions for comic strips can be
read (aside from that specified with the \-\-defs option, which is read
right after the one in /usr/share/dailystrips). The shipped definition file
is in /usr/share/dailystrips/strips.def and is read first. Next,
dailystrips reads the system-wide override file in /etc/dailystrips.defs
(unless \-\-nosystem is specified), which can hold an updated definition
file permitting up to date or locally-specific definitions without having to
upgrade the whole package. Finally, the user's own override file in
~/.dailystrips.defs is read (unless \-\-nopersonal is used). The last
definition read has precedence. Updated strip definitions can be downloaded
at <http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/download.html>.
.SH OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options is included below.
