gpo - Man Page

gpo [--verbose|-v|--quiet|-q] [COMMAND] [params...]

gpo is the text mode interface of gPodder. Run it without any arguments to start the interactive shell (see below). Use "gpo help" to get a list of supported commands.

gpo can be used to manage podcasts from the command line without having to start gPodder. It can also be used to automate tasks such as downloading or updating feeds.

The database and files are the same as used by the GUI, gpodder(1).

If you run "gpo" without COMMAND it will enter its interactive shell mode. From there, you can type commands directly. When readline is available, this shell supports completion using <Tab>. Podcast feed URLs are also completed for commands that take the URL of a podcast as argument.

Some commands (e.g. search and toplist) will provide a query in interactive shell mode (to subscribe to podcasts). These queries will not be shown when started directly from the command line.

For all commands, you can use only the first few characters instead of the full command, as long as the command is unique. If not, gpo will show you all matching commands and the shortest prefix of each.

Please note that future additions to the command set could change the shortest prefix of any given command, so usage of the full command in scripts is recommended (e.g. use "gpo update" and not "gpo up" in scripts and cronjobs). The short command prefixes are mostly useful for interactive usage.
