COMPILING
=========
You need `MiG', `GCC' and `make' in order to compile this program.  Once
you have them, just type `make'.

USAGE
=====
This program must be called with one or more files as arguments, with
options in between (or before the first file name).  The options being:

  -c, --command=TEMPLATE     Shell command to execute for each change
  -a, --all                  Regard all changes on the following files
  -A, --none                 Ignore all changes on the following files
  -e, --extend               Regard extensions of the following files
  -E, --no-extend            Ignore extensions of the following files
  -m, --meta                 Regard changes of meta information
  -M, --no-meta              Ignore changes of meta information
  -n, --null                 Regard startup message of the following files
  -N, --no-null              Ignore startup message of the following files
  -t, --trunc                Regard truncation of the following files
  -T, --no-trunc             Ignore truncation of the following files
  -w, --write                Regard file writes on the following files
  -W, --no-write             Ignore file writes on the following files
  -?, --help                 Give this help list
      --usage                Give a short usage message
  -V, --version              Print program version

For example, to get all kinds of notifications on FOO, except for the initial
null notification, and get all messages, except information about changes of
the meta information (like file author), on BAR, use:

./notice --no-null FOO --null --no-meta BAR

The default command to execute is "echo %t `date` '%f'".  The `%t' will be
replaced with a single small caps letter representing the type of change,
where the letters are the same as in the command line options.  The `%f' will
be replaced with the file name, as specified on the command line.  Any `%%'
will be replaced with a single percent sign `%'.  You can set the command to
execute with the --command=... option.
