SFEED_MARKREAD(1)

💖 SFEED_MARKREAD — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's about the iconic little utility sfeed_markread. no cap, it's a whole vibe.

---

✨ NAME ✨

sfeed_markread — mark items as read / unread 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sfeed_markread read | unread [urlfile]

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's elegant, she slays 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so sfeed_markread reads a plain-text list of URLs from stdin. that's the tea. ☕

the file format for that list of URLs is literally just one URL per line. one. per. line. don't overthink it, bestie, it's giving minimalism ✨

then sfeed_markread writes to the file you specified as urlfile, or to the file named by the environment variable SFEED_URL_FILE. pick your fighter, either works 🫶

and the reason this whole thing exists? the sfeed_markread script can be used by sfeed_curses(1) to mark items as read and unread. so like, it's the little helper that keeps your feed app's read-state in check. main character support role, honestly 👑

---

🎀 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🎀

• SFEED_URL_FILE — set this bad boy to use as the path to the file containing a plain-text list of read URLs. it's the default destination when you don't hand over a urlfile yourself 💖

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

the sfeed_markread utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

so like — 0? we ate, no crumbs, perfection ✨. anything bigger than 0? something went sideways and we're crying in the club 😭

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

example numero uno, using the environment variable:

export SFEED_URL_FILE="$HOME/.sfeed/urls"
echo 'https://codemadness.org/sfeed.html' | sfeed_markread read

or, if you'd rather pass the urlfile as a parameter (valid, iconic, respected):

echo 'https://codemadness.org/sfeed.html' | sfeed_markread read ~/.sfeed/urls

see how both do the exact same thing? yeah. choose the one that matches your aesthetic 💅
