Where is the usage example and doc?

I am sorry, i will address this issue in the next release. In the mean time 
here is 
a short explanation:

The basic usage is:
nntpfs [username[:password@]]server[:port] mountpoint

username, password, port are optional
when successfully started, the command will display debug messages and will 
continue 
running in the current terminal until the directory is unmounted. 

for unmount, use the command "fusermount -u mountpoint", the fusermount package 
should be installed. Alternatively the umount command can be used, but root 
access 
may be needed.

In general it is safe to stop the application using Ctrl-C, however the 
mountpoint 
will appear as invalid until unmounted.

Cached data will be saved in a newly-created .nntpfs directory in the user 
directory. As stale data is not currently dealt with, the only work-around at 
this 
moment is manually deleting the cache.

If the nntpfs command was successfully started and it is running
(look for "Connect succeeded." message and "FUSE:loop"), then in the mounted 
directory, a hierarchy of groups should be available.

In addition to directories corresponding to groups, there are several special 
directories starting with a dot (ok this may not have been very smart)
.files
.sorted
.byauthor
.bydate (not working yet)

listing the contents of any of these directories, or accessing any file inside 
will 
result in loading the group contents from the server.

This is done in order to allow navigation within the group tree without loading 
all 
group contents on the path. After that Individual messages can be accessed as 
files. 
Multipart messages are dealt-with and they appear as a single file.

Warning: listing group contents may be a time and bandwidth consuming 
operation, the 
number of posts in a group is found as the size of the .files folder. Keep in 
mind 
that the group contents are kept in memory, although in a compacted form.

The .files directory contains a list of all messages (this may be quite large).
The .sorted directory contains files grouped in directories by using a 
heuristic.
Everything that could not be categorized is found in the .other directory.
The .byauthor directory contains messages grouped by poster.
The .bydate directory will contain messages grouped by date.

Filenames may sometimes contain special characters, but in general they seem to 
be 
well tolerated by programs like Midnight Commander.

Warning: using KDE/Gnome programs with a preview function may result in 
accessing 
all files in a directory.

Cool use of this tool: 
You can preview files, unpack archives directly out of the newsgroup, without 
the 
need of storing the file locally.
