GPO(1) User Commands GPO(1)NAMEgpo - Text mode interface of gPodder
SYNOPSISgpo [--verbose|-v] [COMMAND] [params...]
DESCRIPTIONgpo 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 down‐
loading or updating feeds.
The database and files are the same as used by gpodder(1).
INTERACTIVE SHELL MODE
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 inter‐
active shell mode (to subscribe to podcasts). These queries will not be
shown when started directly from the command line.
COMMAND PREFIXES
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.
