To reverse this order, set the 'order' as 'ascending' (or 'asc') in your configuration file. (case insensitive).

In order to suppress the tag string set the 'tag' option to '.' in your configuration file.

* services

* pager

Enables the use of a pager when viewing timelines. Defaults to true if not specified.

* format

When printing a list of status messages, the default format of printing the username followed by the status message is not always suitable for everyone. As such you can define your own formatting.

The default format is "[%U] %M", with the available formatting patterns defined as:

  %U - username or screen name
  %M - status message
  %T - timestamp
  %N - network

* chars

As Maisha is run from the command line, it is most likely being run within a terminal window. Unfortunately there isn't currently a detection method for knowing the exact screen width being used. As such you can specify a width for the wrapper to use to ensure the messages are correctly line wrapped. The default setting is 80.

The run methods are handlers to run the specific command requested.

The help methods are handlers to provide additional information about the named command when the 'help' command is used, with the name of a command as an argument.
