+Book searching and downloading
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Usage::
- ml-search.py books [-t title] [-s series] [-a archive] [-f file] [-p path] [--get] [--id id] [--surname name] [--name name] [--misc-name name] [--fullname name] [--aid aid] [-e ext] [--eid eid] [--gname name] [--gtitle title] [--gid gid] [-l lang] [--lid lid]

Search and print a list of books by title, series, archive or file name.
-s, --series series Search by series
-a, --archive archive Search by archive (zip file)
-f, --file file Search by file name (without extension)
- -p, --path path Path to the directory with the library
- archives
- --get Download exactly one book
--id id Search by database id
--surname surname Search by author’s surname
--name name Search by author’s name
--gid gid Search by genre’s id
-l, --lang lang Search by language
--lid lid Search by language’s id
+ --filters Use filters from config
+ -P, --path path Path to the directory with the library
+ archives
+ --download-to [path] Download directory
+ -F, --format format Format of the downloaded file name
+ --get Download exactly one book
+ --get-many N Download at most this many books
By default the program prints only titles of the found book. With one
option `-v` it also prints database id, the list of authors and genres,
archive name, file name, extension and size, and flag if the book is
marked to be deleted.
-Option `-p` provides the path to the directory with the library
-archives. By default the path is extracted from `m_librarian.conf`,
+Option `-P` provides the path to the directory with the library
+archives. By default the path is extracted from configuration file,
section `[library]`, key `path`::
[library]
path = /var/lib/archives
-The option is useful for multiple databases (global option `-d`).
+The option is useful for multiple databases (global option `-D`).
+
+Option `--filters` turns on using filters from config. Currently there
+are two kind of filters: filters on languages and filter on flag
+`deleted`. They are defined in the config file the following way::
+
+ [filters]
+ lang = en ru
+ deleted = 0
+
+`lang` filters is a list of language codes separated by a space.
+`deleted` is a 0/1 flag; 0 hides deleted books from search.
+
+Option `--download-to` provides the path to the download directory.
+By default the script downloads books to the current directory.
+If the option is used without `path` argument the path is extracted from
+configuration file, section `[download]`, key `path`::
+
+ [download]
+ path = /tmp
Option `--get` allows to download a book from the library to a local
file. The option allows to download exactly one book. The simplest way
to use it is via option `--id`. The file is downloaded into the current
directory with the name from the library.
+Configuration key
+
+| [download]
+| format = %a/%s/%n %t
+
+allows to set format for the download file pathname. Default format is
+`%f`, i.e. just filename. Other format specifiers are::
+
+ %a - author (one of if many)
+ %e - file extension
+ %f - file name in archive
+ %G - genre (one of if many), name
+ %g - genre (one of if many), title
+ %l - language
+ %n - series number (or 0)
+ %s - series
+ %t - title
+
+Format must not end in directory separator (`/` or `\\`). If specifier
+`%e` (extension) is not found in the format it is appended
+unconditionally with a dot. That is, format `%f` is equivalent to
+`%f.%e`.
+
+Option `-F|--format format` allows to overwrite this configuration value.
+
+Option `--get-many N` allows to download many books (at most N, where N
+is an integer). Options `--get-many N` and `--get` are, of course,
+mutually incompatible.
+
Extension search
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With one option `-v` it also prints database id.

+ml-web.py
+------------
+
+Usage::
+
+ ml-web.py [-p port]
+
+Options::
+
+ -p, --port port HTTP port to listen to
+
+Run a web server. If a port is given listens on the given port else
+chooses a random port. Starts a browser (or open a new window of a
+running browser) pointing it to the server.
+
+If the program is already running the second instance detects the first
+one, starts a browser pointing to running instance and exits.
