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/generated/en/calibredb.html.

library. This is useful if your metadata.db file has been corrupted.

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.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments
in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"

輸出中單一行的最大寬度。預設值為偵測螢幕大小。
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.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments
in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
--all 此命令通常僅對於過時的OPT檔案進行操作，此選項會使它在所有的書本上操作。

庫相同。
副本書庫將沒有任何書籍。如果您想要建立一個完整的副本書庫，包括所有的書籍，那麼只需使用您的
檔案系統工具來複製書庫資料夾。
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments
in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
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
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments
in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
--only-formats, -f

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"'
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments
in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
