This is the News/NNTP client module that handles all communication with News/NNTP-servers.

This module is implemented by HTNews.c, and it is a part of the W3C Sample Code Library.

    #ifndef HTNEWS_H
    #define HTNEWS_H
    #include "HTProt.h"

We define the max NNTP line as rather long as the result coming from a `XOVER` command needs it. If the line is longer then it is chopped, but we will almost have received the information we're looking for.

    #ifndef NEWS_PORT
    #define NEWS_PORT		119			       /* See rfc977 */
    #endif

    #define MAX_NEWS_LINE		4096

    extern HTProtCallback HTLoadNews;

### Setting Number of Articles to Show

You can set the number of news articles to be shown at a time. If you set the number to none (`0`) then all articles are shown at once. This is also the default behavior.

    extern BOOL HTNews_setMaxArticles (int new_max);
    extern int HTNews_maxArticles (void);

    #endif /* HTNEWS_H */
