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.
