SYNOPSIS
clivefeed [option]... [URL]...DESCRIPTION
clivefeed is an utility that parses RSS feeds containing video page links and uses clive(1) (or <cclive(1)>) to extract them.Historically, the feed parsing feature was written in Python/Newt and was part of clive(1). This feature was originally removed in clive 2.0 and later rewritten in Perl/Tk as part of the clive-utils project which is a set of additional utilities for clive(1).
OPTION SYNTAX
You may freely mix different option styles, or specify options after the command-line arguments. For example:% clivefeed -c /usr/local/bin/clive --opts=mp4 URL -a
You may also put several options together that do not require arguments.
For example:
% clivefeed -aXc /usr/local/bin/clive URL
Which is equivalent to:
% clivefeed -a -X -c /usr/local/bin/clive URL
OPTIONS

- Show help and exit.
- -v, --version
- Show version and exit.
- -c, --clive=path
- path to clive(1) command. If unspecified, clivefeed will attempt to locate it in the $PATH. Additionally, the CLIVE_PATH environment variable can be used.
- -o, --opts=opts
- opts to append to clive call. See clive(1) for more on the available options.
- -a, --all
