PC_QUERY(1)PC_QUERY(1)NAMEpc_query - query the local address book
SYNOPSISpc_query [OPTIONS] [SEARCHSTRING]
DESCRIPTIONpc_query(1) prints contacts from a local address book, synchronized
with remote CardDAV resources with pycardsyncer(1). Contact information
is kept in the vCard format, one set of information, corresponding to a
business card, is therefore often referred to as a card. pc_query(1)
can also import and export vcards from/to the database. pc_query(1) is
part of the pycarddav package.
OPTIONS
BASIC STARTUP OPTIONS
-a, --account=NAME
Only use the account/resource NAME (this option can be used more
than once).
-c, --config=CONFIG
Use the configuration file CONFIG, otherwise pc_query(1) will look
in $HOME/.pycard/ and $HOME/.config/pycard/ for files named
pycard.conf.
--debug
This option enables debugging output.
-h, --help
Print a small help text and exit.
-v, --version
Print pc_query’s version number and exit.
PRINTING OPTIONS
These options can only be used with SEARCHSTRING and determine the
output format of pc_query(1). Without any options pc_query(1) will
print the name, telephone numbers and email addresses of all matching
contact cards.
-A
Prints the whole card.
-m
Only prints names and email addresses, in a mutt friendly format
(one line per email address).
-t
Only prints names and telephone numbers, analogue to -m (but in
different sequence)
FILE INPUT AND OUTPUT OPTIONS
-b, --backup='FILE
Backup the local db to BACKUP, if a SEARCHSTRING is present, only
backup cards matching it.
--delete
Delete card matching SEARCHSTRING, if more than one matches, the
user has to choose one card in an interactive user interface.
-i, --import=FILE
Import vCard from FILE or STDIN into the first specified (or
default) account
OTHER OPTIONS
--where=MODE
Decides which part of the contact cards are matched against the
searchterm. MODE is one of vcard, name (the structured name, as
used in the vcard specification), fname (the formated name, meaning
as is printed by pc_query) and allnames (allnames means search
fname as well as name). While only search through the names might
not find what you are looking for, it will considerably speed up
your query.
