✨ ADDRESSTOOL(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

Okay so bestie, the manual name is ADDRESSTOOL 💖 and it's giving "command-line utility for the Addresses framework" 💅 Literally the tool you use to poke around in your address book from the terminal. Iconic. 🦋

📖 NAME

addresstool — the command-line utility for the Addresses framework 🌸

🧾 SYNOPSIS

addresstool [options] command [parameters]

💫 DESCRIPTION

Okay so addresstool is a command-line utility for the Addresses framework, and it's how you manipulate the address book from your terminal. Main character energy, no cap. ✨

Note: addresstool is named adtool in the upstream distribution, but it got renamed in Debian so it wouldn't clash with the adtool package. Bestie, that's a whole glow-up to avoid drama 😭🫶
