+.TH EXPIRE 8
+.SH NAME
+expire \- remove outdated news articles
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BR /usr/lib/news/expire " [ " \-n
+.IR newsgroups " ] [ "
+.BR \-i " ] [ " \-I " ] [ " \-v " [ "
+.IR level " ] ] [ "
+.BI \-e days

+.B \-a
+ ] 
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I Expire
+is normally started up by
+.IR cron (8)
+every night to remove all expired news.
+If no newsgroups are specified, the default is to expire
+.BR all .
+.PP
+Articles whose specified expiration date has already passed
+are considered expirable.
+The
+.B \-a
+option causes expire to archive articles in /usr/spool/oldnews.
+Otherwise, the articles are unlinked.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-v
+option causes expire to be more verbose.
+It can be given a verbosity level (default 1) as in
+.B \-v3
+for even more output.
+This is useful if articles aren't being expired and you want to know why.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-e
+flag gives the number of days to use for a default expiration date.
+If not given, an installation dependent default (often 2 weeks) is used.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-i
+and
+.B \-I
+flags
+tell
+.B expire
+to ignore any expiration date explicitly given on articles.
+This can be used when disk space is really tight.
+The
+.B \-I
+flag will always ignore expiration dates,
+while the
+.B \-i
+flag will only ignore the date if ignoring it would expire the article sooner.
+.I WARNING:
+If you have articles archived by giving them expiration dates far into the
+future, these options might remove these files anyway.
