NAME

6       bournal - When nobody else cares what you have to say!
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bournal [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bournal  is  a program that allows you to write personal, password-pro‐
13       tected journal entries, as well as search through and edit old entries.
14       Bournal  has no internet capabilities, so if you're looking for a blog‐
15       ging app, boy, did you install the wrong package.
16

OPTIONS

18       These programs follow the usual GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
19       options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary of options is
20       included below.

35              of days within the given timeframe, then a list of subjects made
36              on the chosen day. If no month or year arguments are given,  all
37              days  containing  entries  are  listed,  followed  by  a list of
38              entries made on the chosen day.

43              list of days within the given time frame, then a  list  of  sub‐
44              jects  made on the chosen day. If no month or year arguments are
45              given, all days containing entries are  listed,  followed  by  a
46              list of entries made on the chosen day, then a prompt to confirm

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

70       ccrypt a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams
71
72       Linux  or something similar with basic *NIX utils
73
74       Vim    or Nano or Jed , or some other editor that is not as awesome  as
75              Vim.
76

NOTES

78       Files  encrypted with ccrypt WILL work between computers (assuming it's
79       installed), so taking Bournal and all its entries with you on  a  flash
80       drive  will  work just peachy. You can have entries automatically saved
81       to the flash drive by changing the DIR variable to  the  path  of  your
82       flashdrive,  (e.g.  `  DIR=/media/USB_VOL_NAME  `). However, if you run
83       Bournal from a USB drive, you will need to  predeed  it  with  a  shell
84       (e.g. ` bash bournal `)
85

88              Default directory where entries are stored.
