plowlist is a command-line tool designed for listing links (files) on file-sharing websites. Provided links can be downloaded with plowdown(1).

Currently supported hosting sites list is available in README file.

Common options

If your machine has several network interfaces, force using IFACE interface.

-R, --recursive

Recurse into sub folders.

--printf=FORMAT

Print results (on stdout) in a given format (for each non-dead link). Default string is: "%F%u%n". Interpreted sequences are:

%%

raw % character

%f

filename (can be empty string if module list function does not report any name)

%F

empty if %f is empty, or alias to "# %f%n".

%m

module name

%n

newline

%t

%u

Logging options

-v, --verbose=LEVEL

Set output verbosity level:

0 none,

1 errors,

3 debug,

4 report (very noisy, log HTML pages).

-q, --quiet

Alias for -v0. Do not print any debug messages.

Miscellaneous options

--fallback

--no-plowsharerc

--plowsharerc=FILE

Force using an alternate configuration file (instead of per-user or systemwide plowshare.conf). This option has no effect when --no-plowsharerc is defined.

--modules

Display all supported module names (one per line) and exit. Useful for wrappers.

Generic program information

Display main help and exit.

-H, --longhelp
