+sitename
+
+The name of the site get-news should connect. If this parameter is
+specified, it will be used for multiple purposes, setting:
+
+ \- the DNS name of the NNTP host which get-news will connect to
+download and upload articles
+
+ \- the suffix for some configuration files get-news will use
+(sucknewsrc, active-ignore, suckkillfile)
+
+ \- the news feed name (name of the file in /var/spool/news/outgoing
+which contain list of the articles to be send)
+
+For example, running the command get-news news.provider.site
+causes the script to contact news.provider.site, send messages listed
+in /var/spool/news/outgoing/news.provider.site (according to the feed
+of this name defined in /etc/news/newsfeeds) and use
+/etc/suck/sucknewsrc.news.provider.site as list of newsgroups,
+/etc/suck/suckkillfile.news.provider.site as killfile and (in case -A
+or -AL is specified in get-news.conf) suit newsgroup list to
+/etc/suck/active-ignore.news.provider.site.
+
+When the sitename parameter is missing (like when get-news is run
+without parameters), get-news uses parameters from get-news.conf
+(remoteserver to specify the host, outgoingfile to specify the feed)
+and no-suffix configuration files (sucknewsrc, active-ignore,
+suckkillfile).
+
+\-outgoingfile filename
+
+This option tells get-news to use an alternate remote server outgoing
+articles filename, instead of the default, the remote server name.
+
+\-userid userid
+
+\-password password
+
+These two options let you specify a userid and password, if your NNTP server
+requires them.
+
+\-noauth
+
+This option tells get-news to not send userid and password,
+even if they are specified in /etc/suck/get-news.conf.
+
+\-port port
+
+This option let you specify a port number, if your NNTP server has
+a non standard one.
+
+\-server sitename
+
+This option tells get-news to use sitename as your local NNTP server,
+instead of the default, localhost.
+
+\-q
+
+Be quiet.
+Do not display the BPS and article count messages during download.
+Multiple \-q's makes get\-news shut up
+
+\-getonly
+
+Only get new news, don't post anything outgoing.
+
+\-postonly
+
+Only post outgoing news, don't get anything.
+
+\-timestamp
+Add timestamps to the get-news.log and verbose output.
+
+\-verbose
+Give more messages about what get-news is doing. Specified multiple times,
+debugging output is enabled.
+
+.SH GET-NEWS.CONF
+.PP
+Suck looks for a file
+.I get-news.conf
+in /etc/suck to initialize some defaults and set some options that are not
+available on the command line.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+suck(1), testhost(1), rpost(1), lpost(1).
