<title>Introduction</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; is a command line interface to calendars.
It lets you view, insert, remove, or modify calendar events by way of
the command line or from a scripting language.
Additionally, &konsolekalendar; can create a new calendar,
export a calendar to a variety of other formats, and
import another calendar.</para>

<para>In its basic mode, &konsolekalendar; displays the list of
events in your default calendar for the current day (from 7:00 to 17:00).</para>

<para>Main features of &konsolekalendar;:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>View calendar entries from a start date/time to end date/time</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Insert (add) calendar entries</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Remove (delete) calendar entries</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Modify (change) calendar entries</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Create a new calendar</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Export calendar entries to other file formats</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Import an existing calendar</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>

<para>&konsolekalendar; is <emphasis>not</emphasis> another graphical
user interface to a &kde; calendar (i.e. &korganizer;).  &konsolekalendar;
is intended solely for uses where a graphical user interface is
not practical or possible.</para>

<para>&konsolekalendar; does <emphasis>not</emphasis> provide a full-featured
language for making queries of the user's calendar: nor is it the intention
of the authors to ever write such a capability.  Primitive command line
options are provided for accessing calendar events within a consecutive
range of dates/time stamps.
</para>

</chapter>

<chapter id="features">
<title>Features</title>
<para>In this chapter you'll learn about the main features of
&konsolekalendar; and how to control them using the command line parameters
(remember that &konsolekalendar; is not a graphical user interface;
it is a command line program only).</para>

<para>
You'll learn about inserting, deleting, and changing
calendar events, and how to export events to other file formats.
The creation and importation of calendars will also be covered
in this chapter.
</para>

<sect1 id="viewing">

<sect1 id="inserting">
<title>Inserting Events</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; can insert events into a calendar or calendar
resource using the <parameter>--add</parameter> command line argument.
Events successfully inserted will be immediately shown by &kde; calendar
applications (like &korganizer;).</para>

<para>You get a list of all calendars and their id's using:
</para>

<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--list-calendars</option></userinput></screen>

<para>
<informalexample><para>In the following example, an event starting on 2016-12-01 (December 1, 2016)
at 10:00 and ending at 12:00 with summary "Doctor Visit" will be
inserted into the user's calendar resource with the id 8:</para>

<option>--end-time <replaceable>12:00</replaceable></option> <option>--summary <replaceable>"Doctor Visit"</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

<para>
<informalexample><para>In this example, a birthday event is added into the
user's calendar resource with the id 8:</para>

</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="deleting">
<title>Removing Entries</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; supports the removal of entries in a calendar file or
resource using the <parameter>--delete</parameter> command line argument.
Calendar entries to be removed are specified exactly by their Unique-string
identifier (<acronym>UID</acronym>) using the <parameter>--uid</parameter>
option.  <acronym>UIDs</acronym> are found by first viewing the event,
using the <parameter>--view</parameter>, <parameter>--next</parameter>
or <parameter>--show-next</parameter> options.</para>

<para>Events successfully deleted will be immediately removed from within &kde; calendar
applications (&korganizer; for example).</para>

<warning><para> When you delete something from the calendar you
<emphasis>cannot</emphasis> undo it! In other words, when you delete an entry
you cannot reverse the deletion. It's gone for good.</para></warning>

<para>
<informalexample><para>Here we delete a calendar entry with <acronym>UID</acronym> <replaceable>&konsolekalendar;-1887551750.196</replaceable>:</para>

<para>
<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--delete</option> <option>--uid <replaceable>&konsolekalendar;-1887551750.196</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="changing">
<title>Modifying Entries</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; supports the modification of existing entries in a calendar
file or resource using the <parameter>--change</parameter> command line argument.
Calendar entries to be modified are specified exactly by their Unique-string
identifier (<acronym>UID</acronym>) using the <parameter>--uid</parameter>
option.  <acronym>UIDs</acronym> are found by first viewing the event,
using the <parameter>--view</parameter>, <parameter>--next</parameter>
or <parameter>--show-next</parameter> options.</para>

<para>
Changing behaves in the same way as inserting: you can change an event's start date 
and time, end date and time, summary, location, and description.  Events
successfully changed will be immediately shown modified within &kde; calendar
applications (&korganizer;).</para>

<para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis> Here we change the summary and description
of a calendar entry with <acronym>UID</acronym> <replaceable>&konsolekalendar;-1887551750.196</replaceable>:</para>

<para>
<informalexample>
<para>
<prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command>
<option>--change</option> <option>--uid
<replaceable>&konsolekalendar;-1887551750.196</replaceable></option>
<option>--summary <replaceable>"Get my head examined"</replaceable></option> <option>--description <replaceable>"don't go to that doctor anymore!"</replaceable></option>
</userinput>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="creating">
<title>Creating a New Calendar File</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar;  can be used to create new calendars from existing files.
You can create the calendar using the option <option>--create</option>
with the filename as argument.
The file must be a valid <acronym>iCal</acronym> or <acronym>vCal</acronym> file.</para>
<para>Note: You can not use the option <option>--dry-run</option> to test if
the resource can be created.</para>

<para>Note: &konsolekalendar; needs the file to work, so never delete the file by hand.
</para>

<para>Technical sidenote: &konsolekalendar; creates with this command a new <acronym>Akonadi</acronym> resource pointing to this file.
It does not prevent you to create multiple resources pointing to the same file.
</para>

<para>
<informalexample><para>Create a new calendar from an existing file named
<filename><replaceable>vacation.ics</replaceable></filename>:</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--create</option> <option><replaceable>vacation.ics</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

<para>The resource will be named <quote>vacation</quote> using <option>--list-calendars</option></para>

<para>It is not possible to delete an <acronym>Akonadi</acronym> resource with &konsolekalendar;, you
have to use &korganizer; or <application>akonadiconsole</application>.
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="exporting">
<title>Exporting to Other Formats</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; can export a calendar to other well known formats.
Exporting is a special form of viewing.  By default, events are viewed
in <quote>&konsolekalendar; text</quote> format.  To change the viewing
format use the <parameter>--export-type</parameter> command line argument.</para>

<para>To see a list of all supported export formats, use the
<parameter>--export-list</parameter> option, as in:</para>

<para>
