GPO(1)                           User Commands                          GPO(1)


NAME

       gpo - Text mode interface of gPodder


SYNOPSIS

       gpo [--verbose|-v] [COMMAND] [params...]


DESCRIPTION

       gpo 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
       downloading 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
       interactive 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.


EXAMPLES

       gpo
           Enter interactive shell mode

       gpo update && gpo download
           Check for new episodes, then download all new episodes

       gpo search linux outlaws
           Search the directory for podcasts named "linux outlaws"

       gpo youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
           Print download URL of a YouTube video to stdout

       gpo webui
           Start a web server serving the gPodder Web UI on localhost

       gpo pipe
           Start in pipe mode (useful for GUI frontends that want to use the
           gpodder backend using a JSON-esque request/response protocol)
