<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;:

|
<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.

<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.

<question>
|
|
<para>Why are event <acronym>UIDs</acronym> printed in most export formats?</para>

</question>
|

<answer>
|
|
<para>Because you need to specify <acronym>UIDs</acronym> to delete or
|
|
change events.
|
