Simple and extensible nntp server
papercut [[-f] | [--foreground]]
This manual page documents briefly the papercut command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate existing web based message board software with an Usenet front-end.
However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and retrieve messages from various source and formats.
Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured news transport system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual news software features.
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-\'). A summary of options is included below.
-h --help
Show summary of options.
--version

-f --foreground
Do not fork and run the process in background.
