170 bti-shrink-urls \- convert URLs to a shorter form using a web service
174 \fBbti\fR [\fB\-\-escaped\fR] [\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fBURL\fR]
178 bti\-shrink\-urls converts URLs to a shorter form using a web service\&.
180 Currently only http://2tu\&.us/ is supported\&.
185 Don\'t escape special characters in the URL any more, they are already percent encoded\&.
195 Specify the URL to be converted\&. If no URL is given bti\-shrink\-urls waits for input on stdin\&.
