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] ...
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
50 Options ``-i/-I`` cannot be used together as they are the opposite. In
51 case none of them are used the program guesses case-sensitivity by
52 looking at the arguments. If all arguments are lowercase the program
53 performs case-insensitive search. If there are UPPERCASE or MixedCase
54 arguments the program performs case-sensitive search.
56 Options ``-t/-s/-f`` define the search type. Search types are:
58 * start - search for substring at the start of the search field; for
59 example searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" and "duckling"
60 but not for "McDuck"; this is the default search type.
61 * substring - search for any substring; "duck" => "duck", "duckling",
62 "McDuck" (except for case-sensitive search, of course).
63 * full - search for exact match, compare the entire strings;
64 i.e. searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" but not for
73 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] author [-s surname] [-n name] [-m misc-name] [fullname]
75 Search and print a list of authors by surname/name/misc name/full name.
79 -s, --surname surname Search by surname
80 -n, --name name Search by name
81 -m, --misc-name misc. name Search by misc. name
85 ml-search.py -i author -s duck
87 Search and print a list of authors whose surname starts with "duck",
90 If a few options are given the search is limited with operator AND.
93 ml-search.py -i author -s duck -n mack
95 Search and print a list of authors whose surname starts with "duck" and
96 name starts with "mack", case insensitive.
98 With one option `-d` it also prints database id.
106 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] books [-t title] [-s series] [-a archive] [-f file] [--surname name] [--name name] [--misc-name name] [--fullname name] [-e ext] [--gname name] [--gtitle title] [-l lang]
108 Search and print a list of books by title, series, archive or file name.
112 -t, --title title Search by title
113 -s, --series series Search by series

115 -f, --file file Search by file name (without extension)
116 --surname surname Search by author’s surname
117 --name name Search by author’s name
118 --misc-name misc. name Search by author’s misc. name

121 --gname name Search by genre’s name
122 --gtitle title Search by genre’s title
123 -l, --lang lang Search by language
125 By default the program prints only titles of the found book. With one
126 option `-d` it also prints database id, the list of authors and genres,
127 and also series the book belongs to (if any) and the serial number of
128 the book in the series. With two options `-d` (`-d -d` or simply `-dd`)
129 it also prints the file date and language. With three `-d` it prints
130 archive name, file name, extension and size, and flag if the book is
131 marked to be deleted.
139 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] ext [name]
141 Search and print a list of extensions by name.
