--gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used. OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of Term::ProgressBar.

--output FILE When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard output.

--days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than 5.

--offset N Start grabbing at today + N days. N may be negative.

--quiet Suppress the progress-bar normally shown on standard error.

                for. The list is in xmltv-format.

--version Show the version of the grabber.

ERROR HANDLING

If the grabber fails to download data for some channel on a specific day, it will print an errormessage to STDERR and then continue with the other channels and days. The grabber will exit with a status code of 1 to indicate that the data is incomplete.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The environment variable HOME can be set to change where configuration files are stored. All configuration is stored in $HOME/.xmltv/. On Windows, it might be necessary to set HOME to a path without spaces in it.
