23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;;; Code:
46 "Your `.newsrc' file.
47 `.newsrc-SERVER' will be used instead if that exists."
52 "Control use of version numbers for backups of `gnus-startup-file'.
53 This variable takes the same values as the `version-control'
54 variable."
62 "Whether to write the startup file contents to a buffer then save
63 the buffer or write directly to the file. The buffer is faster
64 because all of the contents are written at once. The direct write
65 uses considerably less memory."
72 "Your Gnus Emacs-Lisp startup file name.
73 If a file with the `.el' or `.elc' suffixes exists, it will be read instead."
83 "The site-wide Gnus Emacs-Lisp startup file name, or nil if none.
84 If a file with the `.el' or `.elc' suffixes exists, it will be read instead."
89 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will use a dribble file to store user updates.
90 If Emacs should crash without saving the .newsrc files, complete
91 information can be restored from the dribble file."
96 "*The directory where dribble files will be saved.
97 If this variable is nil, the directory where the .newsrc files are
98 saved will be used."
103 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will run `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' at startup.
104 This normally finds new newsgroups by comparing the active groups the
105 servers have already reported with those Gnus already knows, either alive
106 or killed.
108 When any of the following are true, `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' will instead
109 ask the servers (primary, secondary, and archive servers) to list new
110 groups since the last time it checked:
111 1. This variable is `ask-server'.
112 2. This variable is a list of select methods (see below).
113 3. `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some'.
114 4. A prefix argument is given to `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' interactively.
116 Thus, if this variable is `ask-server' or a list of select methods or
117 `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some', then the killed list is no
118 longer necessary, so you could safely set `gnus-save-killed-list' to nil.
120 This variable can be a list of select methods which Gnus will query with
121 the `ask-server' method in addition to the primary, secondary, and archive
122 servers.
124 Eg.
125 (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups
128 If this variable is nil, then you have to tell Gnus explicitly to
140 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will check and remove bogus newsgroup at startup.
141 If this variable is nil, then you have to tell Gnus explicitly to
147 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will read the entire active file at startup.
148 If this variable is nil, Gnus will only know about the groups in your
149 `.newsrc' file.
151 If this variable is `some', Gnus will try to only read the relevant
152 parts of the active file from the server. Not all servers support
153 this, and it might be quite slow with other servers, but this should
154 generally be faster than both the t and nil value.
156 If you set this variable to nil or `some', you probably still want to
157 be told about new newsgroups that arrive. To do that, set
158 `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server'. This may not work
159 properly with all servers."
169 "Groups with levels less than or equal to this variable are unsubscribed.
171 Groups with levels less than `gnus-level-subscribed', which
172 should be less than this variable, are subscribed. Groups with
173 levels from `gnus-level-subscribed' (exclusive) upto this
174 variable (inclusive) are unsubscribed. See also
175 `gnus-level-zombie', `gnus-level-killed' and the Info node `(gnus)Group
185 "*New subscribed groups will be subscribed at this level."
190 "*New unsubscribed groups will be unsubscribed at this level."
195 "*Groups higher than this level won't be activated on startup.
196 Setting this variable to something low might save lots of time when
197 you have many groups that you aren't interested in."
202 "*If nil, Gnus will not check foreign newsgroups at startup.
203 If it is non-nil, it should be a number between one and nine. Foreign
204 newsgroups that have a level lower or equal to this number will be
205 activated on startup. For instance, if you want to active all
206 subscribed newsgroups, but not the rest, you'd set this variable to
207 `gnus-level-subscribed'.
209 If you subscribe to lots of newsgroups from different servers, startup
210 might take a while. By setting this variable to nil, you'll save time,
211 but you won't be told how many unread articles there are in the
212 groups."
218 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will read the `.newsrc' file.
219 Gnus always reads its own startup file, which is called
221 be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on
222 using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on
223 entry."
229 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will save the `.newsrc' file.
230 Gnus always saves its own startup file, which is called
232 be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on
233 using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on
234 exit."
239 "*If non-nil, save the list of killed groups to the startup file.
240 If you set this variable to nil, you'll save both time (when starting
241 and quitting) and space (both memory and disk), but it will also mean
242 that Gnus has no record of which groups are new and which are old, so
243 the automatic new newsgroups subscription methods become meaningless.
245 You should always set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server' or
246 nil if you set this variable to nil.
248 This variable can also be a regexp. In that case, all groups that do
249 not match this regexp will be removed before saving the list."

263 )
265 "*A regexp to match uninteresting newsgroups in the active file.
266 Any lines in the active file matching this regular expression are
267 removed from the newsgroup list before anything else is done to it,
268 thus making them effectively non-existent."
273 "*Function(s) called with a group name when new group is detected.
274 A few pre-made functions are supplied: `gnus-subscribe-randomly'
275 inserts new groups at the beginning of the list of groups;
276 `gnus-subscribe-alphabetically' inserts new groups in strict
277 alphabetic order; `gnus-subscribe-hierarchically' inserts new groups
278 in hierarchical newsgroup order; `gnus-subscribe-interactively' asks
279 for your decision; `gnus-subscribe-killed' kills all new groups;

332 subscribe to all newsgroups in the hierarchy and `s' will skip this
333 hierarchy in its entirety."
