USAGE
       samidare is configured by "config.yml" and "t.latest.html" by default.

       samidare generates "latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz"

       samidare uses "status.rm" and "tmp" to record status of pages.

       "config.yml" is a configuration file in YAML format.  See EXAMPLES
       section for its content.

       "t.latest.html" is a template file.  In the file, "data" variable can
       be used.  See the document of htree library for template directives.

       So you can run samidare as follows.

         % cd $HOME
         % mkdir samidare
         % cd samidare
         % vi config.yml
         % vi t.latest.html            # optional
         % samidare
         % w3m latest.html             # view the result

       If you want to publish the result, use symbolic link to latest.html and
       sites.lirs.gz as follows.

         % mkdir public_html
         % mkdir public_html/samidare
         % cd public_html/samidare
         % ln -s ../../samidare/latest.html .
         % ln -s ../../samidare/sites.lirs.gz .

EXAMPLES
       The configuration file is described in YAML format.

       The simplest configuration is list of URLs as follows.

         - http://www.example.org/blog/
         - http://www.example.net/

FILES
       "config.yml" and "t.latest.html" is configuration file.

       "latest.html" and "sites.lirs.gz" is output.

       "status.rm" and "tmp" is used by samidare internally.

SECURITY
       samidare stores pages in tmp directory.  If it is published via your
       web server, XSS (cross site scripting) is possible.  So the directory
       should not be published.
