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

   OTHER OPTIONS
       --where=MODE
           Decides which part of the contact cards are matched against the searchterm.  MODE is one of vcard,
           name (the structured name, as used in the vcard specification), fname (the formated name, meaning as
           is printed by pc_query) and allnames (allnames means search fname as well as name). While only search
           through the names might not find what you are looking for, it will considerably speed up your query.
