NLUPDATE(1)

NAME
nlupdate - Manages your Nodelists and keeps them up to date.

SYNOPSIS
nlupdate

DESCRIPTION
nlupdate manages your nodelists and keeps them up to date. For each nodelist that you have configured with a "Nodelist" statement, it will search the latest nodelist in the "NodelistDir", then caluclate the day number of the difference file that is needed to update this nodelist (the algorithm is Y2K safe and knows that 2000 is a leap year), then searches the difference file, unpacks it if necessary, and applies it to the nodelist using nldiff. nlupdate can also find full replacement files if you configure this, and just unpack them and copy them over the old nodelist. This is usefule for othernets that do not have nodediff files. - With only a few keywords, nlupdate manages the whole process of updating your nodelist files for you.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page (but a nice README).
