= YWCLI 0.1.0 = Yahoo! Weather Command Line Interface

YWCLI is a little terminal application which gets weather information from Yahoo! and shows it. You can just run it as 'ywcli.rb' and get current weather conditions for the default location; or you can specify a day with the --day [number] option (where number is in the range of 0..5); or you can make it show all available information with the --all switch; and last (but not least!) you can specify your own format string, which can be a very convenient way to use this program inside scripts.

These are all available command line options: [-a, --all] Shows all available informations. [-d [day], --day [day]] Shows weather information for the specified day. 0:: Current weather observation. 1:: Today's forecast. 2-5:: Tomorrow's forecast, and so on. [-w [woeid], --woeid [woeid]] Sets location by woeid (check http://weather.yahoo.com to find your own). [-u [units], --units [units]] Sets units (metric/english). [-f [format], --format [format]] Sets output format string. This can be any string including zero or more format tags (see below). [-h, --help] Help screen. [-v, --version] Version and author information.

And here is a list of all format tags you can use. All tags are one-char long, where a trailing 'n' appears, it must be intended as a number indicating the day(0..5).

==Basic %tn:: Text description. %T:: Current temperature. %ln:: Low forecast temperature. %hn:: High forecast temperature. %cn:: Current condition code. %dn:: Date/Time of observation/forecast.

==Location %L:: Observed location. %a:: Latitude of observed location. %b:: Longitude of observed location. %r:: Region name. %C:: Country name.

==Units %U:: Temperature units. %D:: Distance units. %p:: Pressure units. %s:: Speed units.

==Wind/Pressure/Humidity %W:: Wind chill. %e:: Wind direction. %S:: Wind speed. %H:: Humidity. %v:: Visibility. %P:: Pressure. %R:: Barometer status (0 steady, 1 rising, 2 falling).

==Astronomy %f:: Sunrise time. %g:: Sunset time.
