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).
