description:
- Parse XML files from The Sports Network feed.
+ The Sports Network <http://www.sportsnetwork.com/> offers an XML feed
+ containing various sports news and statistics. The goal of /htsn/
+ is to watch the XML feed and parse the individual XML documents into
+ files.
+ .
+ Once started, we will choose an XML feed host to connect to. The
+ choice is made from a list in a round-robin fashion, and by default,
+ the list contains all known TSN feed hosts. Once we have a connection,
+ your username and password are sent. If they are accepted, we begin to
+ parse the feed saving all XML files to the configured output directory.
+ .
+ If we encounter an error (say, the connection is dropped), then we
+ will attempt to connect to the next host in the list after waiting
+ five seconds. This process continues indefinitely.
+ .
+ The program can run either interactively (that is, outputting to the
+ console), or as a daemon.
+ .
+ /Full documentation can be found in the included man page./
