NAME

plowprobe - Gather information from file sharing download links

SYNOPSIS

plowprobe [OPTIONS]... [MODULE_OPTIONS]... URL|FILE...

DESCRIPTION

plowprobe is a command-line tool designed for retrieving metadata from file-sharing
download links. Information are printed on stdout (only alive links). Provided links can
also be downloaded with plowdown(1).

OPTIONS

Common options
-i, --interface=IFACE
If your machine has several network interfaces, force using IFACE interface.

--printf=FORMAT
Print results (on stdout) in a given format (for each non-dead link). Default
format string is "%F%u%n". Interpreted sequences are:

%% raw % character

%c probe function return status (0 for success, 13 for dead link, see list
below)

%f filename (can be empty string)

%F empty if %f is empty, or alias to "# %f%n".

%h filehash (can be empty string if not available). Usually MD5 or SHA1. If
hoster supports several algorithms, the longest digest is used.

%i file identifier (can be empty string if not available). Usually included in
input URL.

%m module name

%n newline

%s filesize (positive integer) in bytes (can be empty string if not available).
Note: It's often approximative.

%t tabulation character

%T file timestamp (can be empty string if not available). Unix epoch time is
preferred.

%u download (source) url

%U same as %u but url is escaped for JSON usage

%v alternate or refactored download url. This can be for example fixing
primary hostname (to avoid HTTP 301 redirection), or force HTTPS protocol.
If not available, alias to %u.

%V same as %v but url is escaped for JSON usage

Note: Metadata are often not fully available from hosters nor implemented by all
modules.

Logging options
-v, --verbose=LEVEL
Set output verbosity level:
0 none,
1 errors,
2 notice (default behavior),
3 debug,
4 report (very noisy, log HTML pages).

-q, --quiet
Alias for -v0. Do not print any debug messages.

Miscellaneous options
--no-color
Disables log messages (stderr only) output coloring.

--follow
If no module is found for link, follow HTTP redirects (curl -L). Default is
disabled.

--get-module
Echo module name for each URL and exit. Faster than --printf=%m. Useful for
wrappers.

--no-curlrc
Do not use curl config file (~/.curlrc).

--curlrc=FILE
Force using an alternate curl configuration file. Replaces ~/.curlrc if it exists.
This option has no effect when --no-curlrc is defined.

--no-plowsharerc
Do not consider any configuration file.

--plowsharerc=FILE
Force using an alternate configuration file (instead of per-user or systemwide
plowshare.conf). This option has no effect when --no-plowsharerc is defined.

--modules
Display all supported module names (one per line) and exit. Useful for wrappers.

Generic program information
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.

-H, --longhelp
Display complete help (with module options) and exit.

--version
Output version information and exit.
