  Description     : simple RSS and Atom parser

sfeed is a RSS and Atom parser (and some format programs).

It converts RSS or Atom feeds from XML to a TAB-separated file. There are
formatting programs included to convert this TAB-separated format to various
other formats. There are also some programs and scripts included to import and
export OPML and to fetch, filter, merge and order feed items.

There is also a curses UI front-end: sfeed_curses.

It shows the TAB-separated feed items in a graphical command-line UI. The
interface has a look inspired by the mutt mail client. It has a sidebar panel
for the feeds, a panel with a listing of the items and a small statusbar for
the selected item/URL. Some functions like searching and scrolling are
integrated in the interface itself.

sfeed and sfeed_curses are very small programs with minimal
dependencies, in suckless style.
