13 Initialize database and import genres list. Isn’t really needed as
14 the next script does all that too.
22 ml-import.py [file.inpx ...]
24 Initialize database, import genres list and import a list of INPX files
25 listed in the command line. On subsequent runs doesn’t destroy DB or
26 reimport genres; it also skips already import books but import new ones.
34 ml-search.py [-i] [-I] [-t] [-s] [-f] [-d] [-c] ...
36 Search through the database and display results. Currently can only
37 search authors by name.
41 -i, --ignore-case ignore case (default is to guess)
42 -I, --case-sensitive don’t ignore case
43 -t, --start search type: substring at the start
45 -s, --substring search type: substring anywhere
46 -f, --full search type: match the full string
47 -d, --details Output more details about found objects;
48 repeat for even more details
49 -c, --count Output count of found objects
51 Options ``-i/-I`` cannot be used together as they are the opposite. In
52 case none of them are used the program guesses case-sensitivity by
53 looking at the arguments. If all arguments are lowercase the program
54 performs case-insensitive search. If there are UPPERCASE or MixedCase
55 arguments the program performs case-sensitive search.
57 Options ``-t/-s/-f`` define the search type. Search types are:
59 * start - search for substring at the start of the search field; for
60 example searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" and "duckling"
61 but not for "McDuck"; this is the default search type.
62 * substring - search for any substring; "duck" => "duck", "duckling",
63 "McDuck" (except for case-sensitive search, of course).
64 * full - search for exact match, compare the entire strings;
65 i.e. searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" but not for
74 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] author [-s surname] [-n name] [-m misc-name] [--id id] [fullname]

95 ml-search.py -i author -s duck -n mack
97 Search and print a list of authors whose surname starts with "duck" and
98 name starts with "mack", case insensitive.
100 With one option `-d` it also prints database id.

128 --gid gid Search by genre’s id
129 -l, --lang lang Search by language
130 --lid lid Search by language’s id
132 By default the program prints only titles of the found book. With one
133 option `-d` it also prints database id, the list of authors and genres,
134 and also series the book belongs to (if any) and the serial number of
135 the book in the series. With two options `-d` (`-d -d` or simply `-dd`)
136 it also prints the file date and language. With three `-d` it prints
137 archive name, file name, extension and size, and flag if the book is
138 marked to be deleted.
