usage = """Usage: Send summaries of RSS entries for your favorite feeds to Zulip.

This bot requires the feedparser module.

To use this script:

1. Create an RSS feed file containing 1 feed URL per line (default feed
   file location: ~/.cache/humbug-rss/rss-feeds)
2. Subscribe to the stream that will receive RSS updates (default stream: rss)
3. create a ~/.zuliprc, or specify user and api-key with command line arguments
4. Test the script by running it manually, like this:

/usr/local/share/humbug/demos/rss-bot

You can customize the location on the feed file and recipient stream, e.g.:

/usr/local/share/humbug/demos/rss-bot --feed-file=/path/to/my-feeds --stream=my-rss-stream

4. Configure a crontab entry for this script. A sample crontab entry for
processing feeds stored in the default location and sending to the default
stream every 5 minutes is:

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/share/humbug/demos/rss-bot"""
