NAME

       Liferea - GTK desktop news aggregator

SYNOPSIS

       liferea [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Liferea  (Linux  Feed  Reader)  is an aggregator for online news feeds.  It can be used to
       maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse and search through their  items  and  displays
       their  contents.  Additionally Liferea allows one to sync subscriptions and read headlines
       with online accounts of TinyTinyRSS and TheOldReader.

       Liferea options:

       -v, --version
              Print version information and exit.

              Display a option overview and exit.

       -a, --add-feed=URI
              Add a new subscription URI which can be a feed or website URL.

       -w, --mainwindow-state=STATE

DBUS INTERFACE

       To allow integration with other programs Liferea provides a DBUS interface  for  automatic
       creation of new subscriptions. The script liferea-add-feed is a convenient way to use this
       interface. Just pass a valid feed URL as parameter and the feed will be added to the  feed
       list.  You  can  also  pass  non-feed  URLs  to use feed auto discovery.  See the EXAMPLES
       section.

ENVIRONMENT

       http_proxy (for HTTP connections)
       https_proxy (for HTTPS connections)
              If defined and a proxy is not specified in the Liferea preferences (which uses  the
              proxy settings provided by dconf), their value will be used as proxy URIs. Both are
              used by many common CLI tools, so make sure to export them in a dedicated subshell.

       LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS
              If defined, randomizes and anonymizes the default HTTP/S User-Agent string.

       LIFEREA_UA
              If defined, its value replaces the default HTTP/S User-Agent string.

       LIFEREA_UA has always precedence over LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS, so the latter  can  be  safely
       defined in global shell initialization files.

EXAMPLES

       $ http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:3128" liferea
       $ http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy.example.com:3128" liferea
              Will alter each outgoing request to use proxy.example.com on port 3128 as proxy. If
              DNS resolution does not work, an IP address can be used instead.

       $ LIFEREA_UA_ANONYMOUS=1 liferea --debug-net
              Will alter each outgoing HTTP/S request to randomize Liferea's version and hide the
              operative  system  in  use.   In  addition,  prints  the  HTTP/S User-Agent and all
              outgoing network requests.

       $ LIFEREA_UA="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0" liferea
              Will alter each outgoing HTTP/S request to pose as Firefox on Linux.

       $ liferea-add-feed "feed:https://www.example.com/feed.rss"
       $ liferea --add-feed "https://www.example.com/feed.rss"
              Subscribe to "example.com/feed.rss". Remember  to  supply  a  valid  and  correctly
              escaped  feed  URL  as  parameter. Please note that Liferea needs to be running for
              liferea-add-feed to work.
