2023-07-07sfeedrc.5: document each feed name should be uniqueHiltjo Posthuma
Asked via e-mail. This confused a person which converted an OPML file which yielded an sfeedrc with duplicate names or multiple "unnamed" entries. This caused sfeed_update to fail, because it tried to merge files with the same name and causing a race-condition because the temporary file with the same name was already moved.

2023-06-09sfeedrc.5: improve example by setting a different User-AgentHiltjo Posthuma
This is useful for sites that block clients that don't have a User-Agent header set.
2023-06-09sfeed_update/sfeedrc: add url as parameter to the filter() and order() functionHiltjo Posthuma
This might make it easier to set filters or ordering by pattern matching on a group of feeds by the feed URL. For example youtube or reddit feeds. Another way which was already possible is prefixing names with for example: "reddit somename" or "yt somename".

2021-01-27sfeed_update: add an overridable parse() function, using sfeed(1) by defaultHiltjo Posthuma
This can be useful to make more cleanly make connector scripts. This does not necesarily even have to be in the sfeed(5) format.
2021-01-16sfeed_update: make convertencoding() consistent with other overridable functionsHiltjo Posthuma
This adds the name as the first parameter for the convertencoding() function, like filter, merge, order, etc. This can be useful to make an exception rule for text decoding in a more clean way.

- sfeedrc.5: use the same order as executed in the sfeed_update file. - sfeedrc.5: reference iconv and curl, which are option, but used by default. - sfeedrc.5: use a .Sh VARIABLES section for sfeedpath and maxjobs. - sfeed_update.1: split config format-specific documentation and reference it. - just use the term "url" instead of "uri". - shorten some texts, increasing readability.
