I have a question about bboard auto-archiving. I can't seem to
find this stuff documented anywhere. I found the following in the
bboards.h file, but it's not very explicit. I think I can figure out
the save & remove part, but what are the other flags for, and what else
can I set with these. Is there any way to control the archive age of
bboards other than spacing the cron jobs farther apart?
unsigned int bb_flags; /* various flags */
#define BB_NULL 0x0000
#define BB_ARCH 0x0007 /* archive policy */
#define BB_ASAV 0x0001 /* save in archives/ directory */
#define BB_AREM 0x0002 /* remove without saving */
#define BB_INVIS 0x0010 /* invisible to bbc */
#define BB_REMOTE 0x0020 /* remote to bbc */
#define BB_SEEN 0x0040 /* seen by bbc */
#define BBITS "\020\01ARCHIVE\02REMOVE\05INVIS\06REMOTE\07SEEN"
I'd rather not get 70 replies on how to use bbl. The entire purpose
of this question is so I don't have to use bbl, because, frankly, I don't have
the time to read all of the bboards we have here.
thanks,
