NAME

       calibredb - calibredb

          calibredb príkaz [možnosti] [parametre]

       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.

       --help, -h
              zobraziť túto nápovedu a skončiť

       --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.

       --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.

       --username

REMOVE_FORMAT

          calibredb remove_format [options] id fmt

       Remove  the format fmt from the logical book identified by id. You can get id by using the
       search command. fmt should be a file extension like LRF or TXT or  EPUB.  If  the  logical
       book does not have fmt available, do nothing.

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

SHOW_METADATA

          calibredb show_metadata [options] id

       Show the metadata stored in the calibre database for the book identified by id.  id is  an
       id number from the search command.

       Set the metadata stored in the calibre database for the book identified  by  book_id  from
       the  OPF  file  metadata.opf. book_id is a book id number from the search command. You can
       get a quick feel for the OPF format by using the  --as-opf  switch  to  the  show_metadata
       command.  You  can  also set the metadata of individual fields with the --field option. If
       you use the --field option, there is no need to specify an OPF file.

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

       --field, -f
              The  field to set. Format is field_name:value, for example: --field tags:tag1,tag2.
              Use --list-fields to get a list of all field names. You  can  specify  this  option
              multiple  times to set multiple fields. Note: For languages you must use the ISO639
              language codes (e.g. en for English, fr for French and so on). For identifiers, the
              syntax  is --field identifiers:isbn:XXXX,doi:YYYYY. For boolean (yes/no) fields use
              true and false or yes and no.

       --list-fields, -l
              List the metadata field names that can be used with the --field option

EXPORT

       operation  saves  all  formats  of  the book, its cover and metadata (in an OPF file). Any
       extra data files associated with the book are also saved.  You can get id numbers from the
       search command.

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

       --all  Exportovať všetky knihy v databáze, bez ohľadu na zoznam identifikačných kódov.

       --dont-asciiize

              name>','<source field>','<pattern>','<prefix>'). When multiple rules  are  defined,
              the     first     matching     rule     will    be    used.    Default:    "(('Read
              books','tags','+',''),('Wishlist item','tags','Wishlist','×'))" Applies to:  AZW3,
              EPUB, MOBI output formats

       that already exists, it will be replaced.

       Syntax for adding:

       calibredb saved_searches add search_name search_expression

       Syntax for removing:

       calibredb saved_searches remove search_name

       in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"

       --display
              Slovník volieb pre prispôsobenie spôsobu interpretácie údajov v tomto stĺpci.  Toto
              je  reťazec  JSON. Pre výčet stĺpcov použite --display"{\ "enum_values\ ":[\ "val1\
              ", \ "val2\ "]}" Existuje veľa možností, ktoré môžu  ísť  do  premennej  "displey".
              Možnosti   podľa  typu  stĺpca  sú:  zložené:  composite_template,  composite_sort,
              make_category,contains_html,  use_decorations  dátum  a  čas:  date_format   výčet:
              enum_values,  enum_colors,  use_decorations  celé  číslo  (int), plávajúce (float):
              number_format text: is_names, use_decorations  Nejlepší spôsob ako  nájsť  zákonité

              vyhľadať v záložnom OPF knihu (uistite sa, že od pridania stĺpca bol vytvorený nový
              OPF). Uvidíte JSON pre "display" pre nový stĺpec v OPF.

       --is-multiple
              Tetnto  stĺpec  obsahuje  údaje typu značky (tzn. viac hodnôt oddelených čiarkami).

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  Normálne tento príkaz funguje iba u kníh, ktoré majú  zastarané  súbory  OPF.  Táto
              možnosť umožňuje fungovanie u všetkých kníh.

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.

       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
              Only  update  metadata  in files of the specified format. Specify it multiple times
              for multiple formats. By default, all formats are updated.

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"'

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

       --limit, -l
              The maximum number of results to return. Default is all results.

FTS_INDEX

          calibredb fts_index [options] enable/disable/status/reindex

       Control the Full text search indexing process.

       enable Turns on FTS indexing for this library

       disable
              Turns off FTS indexing for this library

       status Shows the current indexing status

       reindex
              Can be used to re-index either particular books or the entire library. To  re-index
              particular  books  specify  the  book ids as additional arguments after the reindex
              command. If no book ids are specified the entire library is re-indexed.

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

       --indexing-speed
              The  speed  of  indexing.  Use  fast  for  fast  indexing  using all your computers
              resources and slow for less resource intensive indexing. Note  that  the  speed  is
              reset to slow after every invocation.

       --wait-for-completion
              Wait till all books are indexed, showing indexing progress periodically

FTS_SEARCH

          calibredb fts_search [options] search expression

       Do a full text search on the entire library or a subset of it.

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

       --do-not-match-on-related-words
              Only match on  exact  words  not  related  words.  So  correction  will  not  match
              correcting.

       --include-snippets
              Include snippets of the text surrounding each match. Note that this makes searching
              much slower.

       --indexing-threshold
              How much of the  library  must  be  indexed  before  searching  is  allowed,  as  a
              percentage. Defaults to 90

       --match-end-marker
              The marker used to indicate the end of a matched word inside a snippet

       --match-start-marker
              The marker used to indicate the start of a matched word inside a snippet

       --output-format
              The  format to output the search results in. Either "text" for plain text or "json"
              for JSON output.

       --restrict-to
              Restrict the searched books, either using a search expression or ids. For  example:
              ids:1,2,3  to restrict by ids or search:tag:foo to restrict to books having the tag
              foo.
