list of tuples representing all the groups available from this NNTP server.
|
||||
Each tuple has the form ``(group, last, first, flag)``, where
|
||||
*group* is a group name, *last* and *first* are the last and first article
|
||||
numbers, and *flag* is ``'y'`` if posting is allowed, ``'n'`` if not,
|
||||
and ``'m'`` if the newsgroup is moderated. (Note the ordering: *last*, *first*.)
|
||||
numbers, and *flag* usually takes one of these values:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``y``: Local postings and articles from peers are allowed.
|
||||
* ``m``: The group is moderated and all postings must be approved.
|
||||
* ``n``: No local postings are allowed, only articles from peers.
|
||||
* ``j``: Articles from peers are filed in the junk group instead.
|
||||
* ``x``: No local postings, and articles from peers are ignored.
|
||||
* ``=foo.bar``: Articles are filed in the ``foo.bar`` group instead.
|
||||
|
||||
If *flag* has another value, then the status of the newsgroup should be
|
||||
considered unknown.
|
||||
|
||||
This command will often return very large results. It is best to cache the
|
||||
results offline unless you really need to refresh them.
