NAME

       pc_query - query the local address book

SYNOPSIS

       pc_query [OPTIONS] [SEARCHSTRING]

DESCRIPTION

       pc_query(1) prints contacts from a local address book, synchronized with remote CardDAV
       resources with pycardsyncer(1). Contact information is kept in the vCard format, one set
       of information, corresponding to a business card, is therefore often referred to as a
       card. pc_query(1) can also import and export vcards from/to the database. pc_query(1) is
       part of the pycarddav package.

OPTIONS

   BASIC STARTUP OPTIONS
       -a, --account=NAME
           Only use the account/resource NAME (this option can be used more than once).

       -c, --config=CONFIG
           Use the configuration file CONFIG, otherwise pc_query(1) will look in $HOME/.pycard/
           and $HOME/.config/pycard/ for files named pycard.conf.

       --debug
           This option enables debugging output.

       -h, --help
           Print a small help text and exit.

       -v, --version
           Print pc_query’s version number and exit.

   PRINTING OPTIONS
       These options can only be used with SEARCHSTRING and determine the output format of
       pc_query(1). Without any options pc_query(1) will print the name, telephone numbers and
       email addresses of all matching contact cards.

       -A
           Prints the whole card.

       -m
           Only prints names and email addresses, in a mutt friendly format (one line per email
           address).

       -t
           Only prints names and telephone numbers, analogue to -m (but in different sequence)

   FILE INPUT AND OUTPUT OPTIONS
       -b, --backup='FILE
           Backup the local db to BACKUP, if a SEARCHSTRING is present, only backup cards
           matching it.

       --delete
           Delete card matching SEARCHSTRING, if more than one matches, the user has to choose
           one card in an interactive user interface.

       -i, --import=FILE
           Import vCard from FILE or STDIN into the first specified (or default) account
