13 Initialize database and import genres list. Doesn'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] ...
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
48 Options ``-i/-I`` cannot be used together as they are the opposite. In
49 case none of them are used the program guesses case-sensitivity by
50 looking at the arguments. If all arguments are lowercase the program
51 performs case-insensitive search. If there are UPPERCASE or MixedCase
52 arguments the program performs case-sensitive search.
54 Options ``-t/-s/-f`` define the search type. Search types are:
56 * start - search for substring at the start of the search field; for
57 example searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" and "duckling"
58 but not for "McDuck"; this is the default search type.
59 * substring - search for any substring; "duck" => "duck", "duckling",
60 "McDuck" (except for case-sensitive search, of course).
61 * full - search for exact match, compare the entire strings;
62 i.e. searching for "duck" returns results for "duck" but not for
71 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] author [-s surname] [-n name] [-m misc-name] [fullname]
73 Search and print a list of authors by surname/name/misc name/full name.
77 -s, --surname surname Search by surname
78 -n, --name name Search by name
79 -m, --misc-name misc. name Search by misc. name
83 ml-search.py -i author -s duck
85 Search and print a list of authors whose surname starts with "duck",
88 If a few options are given the search is limited with operator AND.
91 ml-search.py -i author -s duck -n mack
93 Search and print a list of authors whose surname starts with "duck", and
94 name starts with "mack", case insensitive.
102 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] books [-t title] [-s series] [-a archive] [-f file] [-d] [-e ext] [-l lang]
104 Search and print a list of books by title, series, archive or file name.
108 -t, --title title Search by title
109 -s, --series series Search by series
110 -a, --archive archive Search by archive (zip file)
111 -f, --file file Search by file name (without extension)
112 -d, --details Output more details about books;
113 repeat for even more details
114 -e, --ext ext Search by file extension
115 -l, --lang lang Search by language
117 By default the program prints only titles of the found book. With one
118 option `-d` it also prints the list of authors and genres, and also
119 series the book belongs to (if any) and the serial number of the book in
120 the series. With two options `-d` (`-d -d` or simply `-dd`) it also
121 prints the file date and language. With three `-d` it prints archive
122 name, file name, extension and size, and flag if the book is marked to
131 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] ext [name]
133 Search and print a list of extensions by name.
141 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] genres [-n name] [-t title]
143 Search and print a list of genres by name and title.
147 -n, --name name Search by name
148 -t, --title title Search by title
156 ml-search.py [-i/-I] [-t/-s/-f] lang [name]
158 Search and print a list of languages by name.
