       llines - LifeLines genealogy program

SYNOPSIS

       llines [OPTION]...
       llines [OPTION]...Database

DESCRIPTION

       llines invokes the LifeLines genealogy program.

       For up to date documentation please refer to the Documentation section of this man page.

       LifeLines  is  a program to manipulate genealogical information in lineage-linked GEDCOM format. It has a
       curses interface, and a built-in interpreter for its own genealogical report language.

OPTIONS

       The following options are some of the options available for llines.

       -C     Specify configuration file location.

       -F     Finnish option (only available if compiled with Finnish flag)

       -I     Specify a user property (e.g. -ILLEDITOR=gvim)

       -a     Log dynamic memory operation (for debugging)

       -c     Supply cache values (eg, -ci400,4000f400,4000 sets direct indi & fam caches to 400,  and  indirect
              indi & fam caches to 4000)

       -d     Developmental/debug mode (signals are not caught)

       -f     Force open a database (only for use if reader/writer count is wrong)

       -i     Open  database  with  immutable access (no protection against other access -- for use on read-only
              media)

       -k     Always show key values (normally key is not shown if a REFN is shown)

       -l     Lock (-ly) or unlock (-ln) a database for use with read only media (access to a locked database is
              treated as immutable)

       -n     Do not use traditional family rules

       -o     Specify program output filename (eg, -o/tmp/mytests)

       -r     Open database with read-only access (protect against other writer access)

       -uCOLS,ROWS
              Specify window size (eg, -u120,34 specifies 120 columns by 34 rows)

       -w     Open database with writeable access (protecte against other reader or writer access)

       -x     Execute a single lifelines report program directly

       -z     Use  normal  ASCII  characters  for  drawing lines in user interface rather than the vt100 special
              characters

       -?     Display options summary, (on UNIX or Linux use the -h option)

       llexec is a version of llines without  the  user  interface  for  non-interactive  processing  of  report
       programs. (Typically used with the -x option.)

       dbverify is a utility program to verify Lifelines databases.  For information about options, run dbverify
       with the -h option.

FILES

       /etc/lifelines.conf
       ~/.linesrc
       ~/lines.cfg
       ./linesrc
       ./lines.cfg
              Possible locations for Lifelines configuration file Lifelines looks for a configuration  file  for
              various settings. See section System And User Properties in the userguide for details.

DOCUMENTATION

       The  LifeLines  documentation  should be installed as part of the installation, and may also be viewed at
       the project site: http://lifelines.sourceforge.net.  Look  for  ll-userguide  and  ll-reportmanual  (with
       appropriate extensions for text, html and pdf formats).  The normal installation process includes a large
       number of sample report programs that you can customize to suit your needs.  In the directory  containing
       these reports you should find a file named index.html which gives a very brief summary of each report.
