USAGE

       samidare is configured by "config.yml" and "t.latest.html" by default.

       samidare generates "latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz"

       samidare uses "status.rm" and "tmp" to record status of pages.

       "config.yml" is a configuration file in YAML format.  See EXAMPLES section for its content.

       "t.latest.html" is a template file.  In the file, "data" variable can be used.  See the document of htree
       library for template directives.

       So you can run samidare as follows.

         % cd $HOME
         % mkdir samidare
         % cd samidare
         % vi config.yml
         % vi t.latest.html            # optional
         % samidare
         % w3m latest.html             # view the result

       If you want to publish the result, use symbolic link to latest.html and sites.lirs.gz as follows.

         % mkdir public_html
         % mkdir public_html/samidare
         % cd public_html/samidare
         % ln -s ../../samidare/latest.html .
         % ln -s ../../samidare/sites.lirs.gz .

EXAMPLES

       The configuration file is described in YAML format.

       The simplest configuration is list of URLs as follows.

         - http://www.example.org/blog/
         - http://www.example.net/

FILES

       "config.yml" and "t.latest.html" is configuration file.

       "latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz" is output.

       "status.rm" and "tmp" is used by samidare internally.

SECURITY

       samidare  stores  pages  in  tmp  directory.   If  it  is  published via your web server, XSS (cross site
       scripting) is possible.  So the directory should not be published.
