NETCACHE(1)

NAME
netcache - local Internet cache handler for offpunk

SYNOPSIS
netcache [--path] [--offline] [--max-size MAX_SIZE] [--timeout TIMEOUT] [URL ...]
netcache -h | --help

DESCRIPTION
Netcache is the download and cache management engine of the browser offpunk(1). It allows one to fetch a link and get its content, writing the content through the local cache for ulterior reference. Netcache can be forced into offline mode, in order to only fetch resources from the local cache, otherwise it would always refresh it from the version available online. It is also useful for mapping a given URL to its location in the cache, independently of whether it has been downloaded first.

Default cache path is ~/.cache/offpunk. Set OFFPUNK_CACHE_PATH environment variable to use another location.

    OFFPUNK_CACHE_PATH=/home/ploum/custom-cache netcache.py gemini://some.url

Offpunk(1) is a command-line browser and feed reader dedicated to browsing the Web, Gemini, Gopher and Spartan.
