NAME

       calibredb - calibredb

          calibredb kommando [valgmuligheder] [argumenter]

       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.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       --help, -h
              Vis denne hjælpetekst og afslut

       --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.

       (you  can get id numbers by using the search command). For example, 23,34,57-85 (when specifying a range,
       the last number in the range is not included).

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

       --permanent
              Do not use the Recycle Bin

ADD_FORMAT

          calibredb add_format [options] id ebook_file

       Add  the e-book in ebook_file to the available formats for the logical book identified by id. You can get
       id by using the search command. If the format already exists, it is replaced, unless the do  not  replace
       option is specified.

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

       --as-extra-data-file
              Add the file as an extra data file to the book, not an ebook format

       --dont-replace
              Erstat ikke formatet hvis det allerede findes

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.

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

       --as-opf
              Udskriv metadata i OPF-form (XML)

SET_METADATA

          calibredb set_metadata [options] book_id [/path/to/metadata.opf]

       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

          calibredb export [options] ids

       Export the books specified by ids (a comma separated list) to the filesystem.  The 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  Eksporter alle bøger i databasen, listen over id'er ignoreres.

       --dont-asciiize
              Have  calibre convert all non English characters into English equivalents for the file names. This
              is useful  if  saving  to  a  legacy  filesystem  without  full  support  for  Unicode  filenames.
              Specificering af denne switch vil slå denne opførsel fra.

       --dont-save-cover

              Gør gem-til-disk langsommere. Specificering af denne switch vil slå denne opførsel fra.

       --dont-write-opf
              Normalt, vil calibre skrive metadataene til en separat OPF-fil sammen med de aktuelle e-bog-filer.
              Specificering af denne switch vil slå denne opførsel fra.

       --formats

SAVED_SEARCHES

          calibredb saved_searches [options] (list|add|remove)

       Manage  the  saved  searches stored in this database.  If you try to add a query with a name 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

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

ADD_CUSTOM_COLUMN

          calibredb add_custom_column [options] label navn datatype

       Opret  en  brugerdefineret  kolonne.  label  er et maskinvenligt kolonnenavn. Må ikke indeholde mellemrum
       eller koloner. name er det menneskevenlige kolonnenavn.  datatype er en af:  bool,  comments,  composite,
       datetime, enumeration, float, int, rating, series, text

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

       --display
              A dictionary of options to customize how the data in this column will be interpreted.  This  is  a
              JSON  string. For enumeration columns, use --display"{\ "enum_values\ ":[\ "val1\ ", \ "val2\ "]}"
              There  are  many  options  that  can  go into the display variable.The options by column type are:
              composite:  composite_template,   composite_sort,   make_category,contains_html,   use_decorations
              datetime:   date_format   enumeration:   enum_values,  enum_colors,  use_decorations  int,  float:
              number_format text: is_names, use_decorations  The best way  to  find  legal  combinations  is  to
              create  a  custom column of the appropriate type in the GUI then look at the backup OPF for a book
              (ensure that a new OPF has been created since the column was added). You will see the JSON for the
              "display" for the new column in the OPF.

       --is-multiple
              Denne kolonne gemmer mærkat ligesom data (f.eks.  multiple  kommaseparerede  værdier).  Giver  kun

RESTORE_DATABASE

          calibredb restore_database [options]

       Restore  this  database from the metadata stored in OPF files in each folder of the calibre library. This
       is useful if your metadata.db file has been corrupted.

       WARNING: This command completely regenerates your database.  You  will  lose  all  saved  searches,  user
       categories,  plugboards,  stored per-book conversion settings, and custom recipes. Restored metadata will
       only be as accurate as what is found in the OPF files.

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

       --really-do-it, -r

              size of the database.

LIST_CATEGORIES

          calibredb list_categories [options]

       Produce  a  report of the category information in the database. The information is the equivalent of what
       is shown in the Tag browser.

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  Normalt fungerer denne kommando kun på bøger som har forældede OPF-filer. Dette tilvalg gør at det
              fungerer på alle bøger.

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.
