Argument --version will output the version despite other arguments:

>>> rss_reader https://people.onliner.by/feed --limit 1 --version

When entering the source argument, the got page is parsed on the Internet, if you specify the --date some_date argument, then the news is searched in the local storage and an Internet connection is not required.

When you enter only --date some_date, the news will be searched for by the specified date. If the news is not found, an error will be returned:

>>> rss_reader --date 20210810

------------------------------------------- Stop Program ------------------------------------------

If you enter source and --date some_date utility will search news by the got to date and the got to site. If the news is not found, an error will be returned:

>>> rss_reader https://people.onliner.by/feed --date 20210810

[ERROR] No news was founded for this date: 20210810, and this source: https://people.onliner.by/feed

-------------------------------------------------- Stop Program --------------------------------------------------

If you want more information about how the program works you can enter the argument --verbose:

  >>> rss_reader https://people.onliner.by/feed --limit 4 --verbose
