Introduction to This Document

The Paperboy RSS Manual (this document) is a general users' guide for using the package of tools that are part of the Paperboy RSS project. While it is intended to be an excellent resource for users of all levels, be sure not to overlook other documentation such as the man pages. The man pages are less holistic in their approach, but more concise and more detail oriented. Because of the detail orientation, the man pages will be updated more frequently as specifics change.

While it does introduce and, to some extent, discuss the secondary tools that are part of the project, the main interest of this document is the paperboy program which is the core utility. Further discussion of other components will be added to this or another document in the future.

If you're looking to get Paperboy up and running in 10 minutes the first two chapters will be of the most interest to you. The subsequent chapters go into more depth on the full capabilities of the program and should serve users well as they gain proficiency and also be of interest to developers.
