=head1 NAME

statnews - generate some useful statistics out of a newsgroup

=head1 SYNOPSIS

statnews [OPTIONS] I<NEWSGROUP>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<statnews> command get some useful statistics out of a newsgroup.
It displays things like how many articles each author posted, how many
characters was written, how many lines were quoted, how many articles
belong to each thread, the number of messages/characters per day, the
average message length, and so on.

C<"AuThor">.

=item B<--dotted>(*)

Whether to translate C<"."> to C<"/"> in I<NEWSGROUP> (default is
C<--nodotted>: does translate).  This option may be useful if your
system stores each newsgroup in a dedicate directory (e.g.,
F<news.useless.group>) instead that by hierarchy (e.g.,
F<news/useless/group>), or if your system has a news archive stored
this way.

=item B<--from=>I<DATE>

Set the date statistics start from (I<DATE> format is C<dd/mm/yyyy>, GMT).

=item B<--help>

Display the help summary.

=item B<--spooldir=>I<SPOOLDIR>

=item B<--width=>I<WIDTH>

Set the terminal width to I<WIDTH> columns (default is 80, with a
minimum of 70).

=back

Options may be conveniently abbreviated and prefixed by "-" instead of
"--"; the "=" may be omitted or substituted with one or more blanks.

Options listed with (*) may be negated by adding the prefix C<"no"> in
front of them (e.g., C<--dotted> => C<--nodotted>).

=head1 RETURN VALUE

The B<statnews> command returns 0 on success and a positive integer on
errors.

overridden by explicit command line parameters.  For example:

=over 4

=item B<sh:>

C<STATNEWS="--nocapital --width=132"; export STATNEWS>

=item B<csh:>

C<setenv STATNEWS "--nocapital --width=132">
