✨ 2VCARD(1) ✨ — Addressbook conversion tools 🎀

okay bestie, so the manual name is Addressbook conversion tools 📇 and the page is all about 2vcard 💖. it's literally a tiny perl script that takes your messy addressbook and turns it into the super popular VCARD file format 💅.

🌸 NAME

• 2vcard — convert addressbooks to VCARD format 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS

2vcard [ -F | -f | -h | -v  ] [ -i FILE ] [ -o FILE ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

okay so 2vcard is a little perl script 🧚 that converts an addressbook into the VCARD format, and it's giving main character energy ✨. right now it can convert addressbooks and alias files from these formats: abook, eudora, juno, ldif, mutt, mh and pine 💜.

the VCARD format is used by gnomecard, for example 🎀, and gnomecard is used by the balsa email client, so it's all connected, no cap 🔥.

🌸 USAGE

by default, 2vcard reads from stdin and writes to stdout 💅. but if you want, you can name the input and output files yourself using command-line options 🫶.

🌸 OPTIONS

a summary of the options 2vcard supports is right below, bestie 👑.

• -F — print a list of the currently supported formats 📜
• -f format — convert from format, lowkey defaulting to mutt 🦋
• -h — show a summary of options and exit 🙈
• -i FILE — read input from FILE 📥
• -o FILE — write output to FILE 📤
• -v — show version information and exit 🌈

🌸 EXAMPLES

in a pipe, you can do this 🧚:

tr '^M' '\n' < EudoraNicknames | 2vcard -f eudora > out

or alone, like this 💖:

2vcard -i ~/.aliases -o ~/.addbook.grcd

🌸 VERSION

the version is 0.6 ✨.
