Stackoverflow Command Line Utility
==================================
This utility enables access to stackoverflow websites' features. It provides
a CLI utility, but can be used as a library to access the SO websites. The
results of the CLI utility is pretty raw on purpose. It is meant to be used
or extended for other programs.
This utility will connect to your stackoverflow account using either
stackexchange's openid provider or google's one. You have to set up
your openid credentials in the configuration file.
Then it will store your cookies (unless you don't want) so it won't
authenticate each time you use the utility.
To use it, you need to call a command on a stackoverflow site. To get
the list of the sites, you can call `sotool -l` which will return the
list of all sites.
Then on the given site, you can use one of the following commands: `inbox` to
do stuff on your notification inbox, `chat` to get the chat system or `qna` for
the Q&A system of stackoverflow.
On everycommand, you can get the list of subcommands using `--help`.
