✨ NAME ✨

newsx.conf — the newsx standard profile, fr fr. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so newsx.conf is a profile file that gets read by newsx(8) before it even looks at the command line arguments. like, it goes first. periodt. 👑

what's inside? just standard newsx(8) command line options. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

🚨 important bestie alert: the leading dashes for options are mandatory. yes, mandatory mandatory. don't skip the dashes, i'm literally begging. 😭

several lines may be used, so you can stack your options all cute like. no cap. 💅

blank lines and lines starting with a '#' are treated as comments. so go ahead and annotate your little heart out, the # is your safe space. 🌈

lowkey a note though: it is also possible to have profile information for a specific newsspool. see newsx.conf(5). yes, it points you right back here — it's giving mirror selfie, and honestly? iconic. 🪞✨
