NAME
imdb-get — Looks up IMDB data for a film.
SYNOPSIS
imdb-get [options] [--imdb-id id] [-l id] [--search search string] [-s search string] [--filename filename] [-f filename] [-h ] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the imdb-get command. imdb-get has three modes. It can be called with imdb ID and a set of details to print, in which case it will retrieve those details either from the cache or IMDB. Secondly, it can be called with a filename in which case it will look the file up in the cache (resolving symlinks as appropriate and checking for multiple disks from the same film) and if that fails it will use the filename to search IMDB. Alternatively it may be used with just a search string, which will always search IMDB.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h --help Print syntax and options. -l --imdb-id Specify IMDBID to use in queries. -s --search Specify search string to use in queries. -f --filename Specify filename.
