NAME
calibredb - calibredb
calibredb command [options] [arguments]
calibredb is the command line interface to the calibre database. It has several sub-commands, documented
below.
calibredb can be used to manipulate either a calibre database specified by path or a calibre Content
server running either on the local machine or over the internet. You can start a calibre Content server
using either the calibre-server program or in the main calibre program click Connect/share → Start
Content server. Since calibredb can make changes to your calibre libraries, you must setup authentication
on the server first. There are two ways to do that:
• If you plan to connect only to a server running on the same computer, you can simply use the
--enable-local-write option of the Content server, to allow any program, including calibredb,
running on the local computer to make changes to your calibre data. When running the server from the
main calibre program, this option is in Preferences → Sharing over the net → Advanced.
• If you want to enable access over the internet, then you should setup user accounts on the server
and use the --username and --password options to calibredb to give it access. You can setup user
authentication for calibre-server by using the --enable-auth option and using --manage-users to
create the user accounts. If you are running the server from the main calibre program, use
Preferences → Sharing over the net → Require username/password.
To connect to a running Content server, pass the URL of the server to the --with-library option, see the
documentation of that option for details and examples.

--library-path, --with-library
Path to the calibre library. Default is to use the path stored in the settings. You can also
connect to a calibre Content server to perform actions on remote libraries. To do so use a URL of
the form: http://hostname:port/#library_id for example, http://localhost:8080/#mylibrary.
library_id is the library id of the library you want to connect to on the Content server. You can
use the special library_id value of - to get a list of library ids available on the server. For
details on how to setup access via a Content server, see
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/et/generated/et/calibredb.html.
--password
Password for connecting to a calibre Content server. To read the password from standard input, use
the special value: <stdin>. To read the password from a file, use: <f:/path/to/file> (i.e. <f:
followed by the full path to the file and a trailing >). The angle brackets in the above are
required, remember to escape them or use quotes for your shell.
--timeout
The timeout, in seconds, when connecting to a calibre library over the network. The default is two
minutes.

ADD_CUSTOM_COLUMN
calibredb add_custom_column [options] label name datatype
Create a custom column. label is the machine friendly name of the column. Should not contain spaces or
colons. name is the human friendly name of the column. datatype is one of: bool, comments, composite,
datetime, enumeration, float, int, rating, series, text

--display
A dictionary of options to customize how the data in this column will be interpreted. This is a
JSON string. For enumeration columns, use --display"{\ "enum_values\ ":[\ "val1\ ", \ "val2\ "]}"
There are many options that can go into the display variable.The options by column type are:
composite: composite_template, composite_sort, make_category,contains_html, use_decorations
datetime: date_format enumeration: enum_values, enum_colors, use_decorations int, float:
number_format text: is_names, use_decorations The best way to find legal combinations is to
create a custom column of the appropriate type in the GUI then look at the backup OPF for a book
(ensure that a new OPF has been created since the column was added). You will see the JSON for the
"display" for the new column in the OPF.

is useful if your metadata.db file has been corrupted.
WARNING: This command completely regenerates your database. You will lose all saved searches, user
categories, plugboards, stored per-book conversion settings, and custom recipes. Restored metadata will
only be as accurate as what is found in the OPF files.

--width, -w
The maximum width of a single line in the output. Defaults to detecting screen size.
BACKUP_METADATA
calibredb backup_metadata [options]
Backup the metadata stored in the database into individual OPF files in each books folder. This normally
happens automatically, but you can run this command to force re-generation of the OPF files, with the
--all option.
Note that there is normally no need to do this, as the OPF files are backed up automatically, every time
metadata is changed.

kõikidel raamatutel.
CLONE
calibredb clone path/to/new/library
Create a clone of the current library. This creates a new, empty library that has all the same custom
columns, Virtual libraries and other settings as the current library.
The cloned library will contain no books. If you want to create a full duplicate, including all books,
then simply use your filesystem tools to copy the library folder.

EMBED_METADATA
calibredb embed_metadata [options] book_id
Update the metadata in the actual book files stored in the calibre library from the metadata in the
calibre database. Normally, metadata is updated only when exporting files from calibre, this command is
useful if you want the files to be updated in place. Note that different file formats support different
amounts of metadata. You can use the special value 'all' for book_id to update metadata in all books. You
can also specify many book ids separated by spaces and id ranges separated by hyphens. For example:
calibredb embed_metadata 1 2 10-15 23
Alati kui edastad programmile calibredb tühikuid sisaldavaid argumente, ümbritse argumendid
jutumärkidega. Näiteks: "/some path/with spaces"
--only-formats, -f
Uuenda metaandmeid ainult määratletud formaatide failides. Mitme formaadi jaoks määratle see mitu
korda. Vaikimisi uuendatakse kõiki formaate.
SEARCH
calibredb search [options] search expression
Search the library for the specified search term, returning a comma separated list of book ids matching
the search expression. The output format is useful to feed into other commands that accept a list of ids
as input.
The search expression can be anything from calibre's powerful search query language, for example:
calibredb search author:asimov 'title:"i robot"'
Alati kui edastad programmile calibredb tühikuid sisaldavaid argumente, ümbritse argumendid
jutumärkidega. Näiteks: "/some path/with spaces"
