<chapter id="introduction">
<title>Introduction</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; is a command line interface to &kde; 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 &kde; calendar,
export a &kde; calendar to a variety of other formats, and
import another &kde; 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 &kde; 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 &kde; calendars will also be covered
in this chapter.
</para>

<sect1 id="viewing">
<title>Viewing Events</title>

<para>In its default mode, or by using the <parameter>--view</parameter>
option, &konsolekalendar; will list all events within the range of a specified
date/time.</para>

<para>
<informalexample><para>To view all of today's events (from 7:00 to 17:00), simply run:</para>

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

<para>&konsolekalendar; can insert events into a &kde; 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>
<informalexample><para>In the following example, an event starting on 2003-06-04 (June 4, 2003)
at 1000 and ending at 1200 with summary "Doctor Visit" will be
inserted into the user's default calendar resource:</para>


<para>
<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--add</option> <option>--date <replaceable>2003-06-04</replaceable></option> <option>--time <replaceable>10:00</replaceable></option> \
<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 default calendar resource:</para>

<para>
<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--add</option> <option>--date <replaceable>2003-06-06</replaceable></option> <option>--summary <replaceable>"My Birthday"</replaceable></option> \
<option>--description <replaceable>"Party Time"</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

<para>
<informalexample><para> Here a one week vacation is inserted into a shared <replaceable>vacation</replaceable> calendar:</para>

<para>
<screen><prompt>%</prompt><userinput> <command>konsolekalendar</command> <option>--add</option> <option>--file <replaceable>vacation.ics</replaceable></option> <option>--date <replaceable>2003-08-01</replaceable></option> \
<option>--end-date <replaceable>2003-08-07</replaceable></option> <option>--summary <replaceable>"Vacation"</replaceable></option> <option>--description <replaceable>"Nobody will ever find me!"</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
</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> option.</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> option.</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

<title>Creating a New Calendar File</title>

<para>&konsolekalendar; can be used to create a new &kde; calendar file.

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

<para>&konsolekalendar; can export a &kde; 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>
