  --no-cache, -nc       Force scraping and ignore cached results
  --limit LIMIT, -l LIMIT
                        Limit number of news items per source
  --set-sources SET_SOURCES, -ss SET_SOURCES
                        Set the news sources to use (comma-separated list of source Names or Numbers NO-SPACE or `all` for all sources)
  --list-sources, -ls   List available and currently selected news sources
  --no-links, -nl       Do not show URLs to news
  --keyword KEYWORD, -k KEYWORD
                        Search for keywords in news titles

Examples

Set three sources you like and trigger scraping.

./in4m -ss hackread,watchtowr,1 --no-cache

Set all sources.

./in4m -ss all -nc

List sources.

./in4m -ls

Look for keyword cve (case insensitive).

./in4m -k cve -l3

Important: To avoid unnecessary scraping, only the set sources are scraped and saved to the cache, if you want to add new sources that haven't been scraped you will need to add the -nc flag to re-trigger scraping.
