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.

       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

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

              Normalt vil calibre opdatere metadataene i de gemte filer fra hvad der er  i  calibre-biblioteket.
              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
              Kommasepareret  liste  af formater, som gemmes for hver bog. Som standard gemmes alle tilgængelige
              formater.

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

              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.
