NAME
       gcap - Youtube closed caption downloader

SYNOPSIS
       gcap [-i] [-t] [-r <regexp>] [--proxy=<addr> | --no-proxy]
	    [--help] <url> | <video_id>

DESCRIPTION
       gcap is a command line tool for downloading Youtube closed captions.
       The downloaded closed captions are saved in SubRip (srt) file format.
       The srt files are saved as "$videoid_$langid.srt" by default.

OPTIONS
       --help
	   Print help and exit.

       --version
	   Print version and exit.

       -q, --quiet
	   Be quiet.

       -i, --interactive
	   Open the interactive prompt which can be used to select the items.
	   gcap selects all items by default. See also "INTERACTIVE PROMPT".

       -t, --title
	   Parse video title and use it in the output filename(s) instead of
	   video ID. The default is no.

       -r, --regexp=arg
	   Cleanup video title using the specified arg regular expression.
	   The default is "/(\w|\s)/g".

       --proxy arg
	   Use arg for HTTP proxy, e.g. "http://foo:1234". Overrides the
	   http_proxy environment setting.

       --no-proxy
	   Disable use of HTTP proxy. Overrides both "--proxy" and http_proxy
	   environment settings.

INTERACTIVE PROMPT
       Use the "--interactive" switch to open the prompt. Note that gcap uses
       (as of 0.1.0) the Umph::Prompt module for this. Once the prompt opens,
       type "help" to get a list of commands available to the prompt.

EXAMPLES
       gcap 0QRO3gKj3qw
       gcap "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRO3gKj3qw"
	   Both yield the same results.

       gcap -ti 0QRO3gKj3qw
	   Same as above two but use video title in the filename and choose
	   which of the closed captions should be downloaded.

EXIT STATUS
       Exits 0 on success, otherwise 1.

FILES
       $HOME/.gcaprc, for example:
	   echo "--interactive" >> ~/.gcaprc

NOTES
       Availability
	   The following error message produced by gcap (or the XML::DOM
	   module) typically indicates that the video does not have any closed
	   captions available for it (URL omitted for brewity):

	     Couldn't parsefile [...] with LWP: no element found at line 1,
	     column 0, byte -1 at [...]/XML/Parser.pm [...]

       http_proxy
	   gcap depends on XML::DOM which uses LWP::UserAgent to download the
	   data. Note that LWP::UserAgent reads http_proxy environment
	   setting. e.g.:

	     env http_proxy=http://foo:1234 gcap video_id
