.Nd search utility for Blocket.se

.Sh DESCIPTION
.Pp
.Nm
is a script for searching Blocket.se, the Swedish equivalent to Craigslist, without the need for a web browser.

If no command-line flags are present,
.Nm
outputs the search results in JSON format.
The results can be processed with a utility like
.Xr jq 1
or the included
.Xr blm 1 ,
which translates them into
.Xr mboxu 5
format.

If
.Fl r
is present,
.Nm
automatically invokes
.Xr blm 1
and opens the resulting mbox file in
.Xr mutt 1 ,
.Xr mailx 1
or the value of
.Ev MAILER .
The temporary mbox file is automatically deleted.

If
.Fl r
is present together with
.Fl d ,
.Xr blm 1
is called with the
.Fl d
flag.
