CVTBATCH(8)
NAME
  cvtbatch - convert Usenet batch file to INN format

SYNOPSIS
  cvtbatch [ -w items ]

DESCRIPTION
  Cvtbatch reads standard input as a sequence of lines, converts 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 a storage API token indicating a Usenet article.
  (Only the first word of each line is parsed; anything following whitespace
  is ignored.  Lines not starting with a valid token are also silently
  ignored.)

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

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 following set:

	       b       Size of article in bytes
	       f       full pathname of article
	       m       article message-id
	       n       relative pathname of article
