10 .Sh DESCRIPTION
11 .Nm
12 formats feed data (TSV) from
13 .Xr sfeed 1
14 from stdin or for each
15 .Ar file
16 into a curses UI.
17 If one or more
18 .Ar file
19 arguments are specified then the basename of the
20 .Ar file
21 is used as the feed name in the output such as the feeds sidebar.
22 The
23 .Ar file
24 arguments are processed and shown in the specified argument order in the…
25 sidebar.
26 If no
27 .Ar file
28 arguments are specified then the data is read from stdin and the feed na…
29 "stdin" and no sidebar is visible by default in this case.
30 .Pp
31 Items with a timestamp from the last day compared to the system time at …
32 time of loading the feed are marked as new and bold.
33 This value might be overridden through environment variables.
34 There is also an alternative mode available to mark items as read by mat…
35 it against a list of URLs from a plain-text file.
36 Items with an enclosure are marked with a @ symbol.
37 .Pp
38 .Nm
39 aligns the output.
40 Make sure the environment variable
41 .Ev LC_CTYPE
42 is set to a UTF-8 locale, so it can determine the proper column-width
43 per rune, using

264 while having the UI open and offsets for the lines are different.
265 A workaround for the race-condition issue is by sending the SIGHUP signa…

324 .Pp
325 Toggle showing only feeds with new items in the sidebar ('t' keybind).
326 .Pp
327 Go to the first row in the current panel ('g' keybind).

331 Set a file to use for managing read and unread items.
332 This is a plain-text file containing a list of read URLs, one URL per li…
333 .It
334 Check if this file for managing the read and unread items exists.
335 If it doesn't exist yet then create an empty file.
