NAME
       cvtbatch - convert Usenet batch file to INN format

SYNOPSIS
       cvtbatch [ -w items ]

DESCRIPTION
       Cvtbatch	 reads	standard  input	 as a sequence of lines, converts each
       line, and writes it to standard output.	It is used to  convert	simple
       batchfiles  that	 contain  just the article name to INN batchfiles that
       contain additional information about each article.

       Each line is taken as a storage API token indicating a Usenet  article.
       (Only  the first word of each line is parsed; anything following white‐
       space is ignored.  Lines not starting  with  a  valid  token  are  also
       silently ignored.)

       If  the	input  file  consists  of  a  series of Message-ID's, then use
       grephistory(1) with the ``-s'' flag piped into cvtbatch.

OPTIONS
       -w     The ``-w'' flag specifies how each output line should  be	 writ‐
	      ten.   The  items	 for this flag should be chosen from the ``W''
	      flag items as specified in newsfeeds(5).	 They  may  be	chosen
	      from the following set:

		   b	Size of article in bytes
		   f	full pathname of article
		   m	article message-id
		   n	relative pathname of article
