okay bestie so this is kiwix-manage, from the General Commands Manual section of your local man page collection. she's the girl who handles your Kiwix library and she does NOT play about it. 🎀

kiwix-manage LIBRARY_PATH add ZIM_PATH ...

kiwix-manage LIBRARY_PATH show [ZIM_ID_1] [ZIM_ID_2] ...

kiwix-manage --help

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so kiwix-manage is a command line tool for manipulating a Kiwix XML library. that's the whole job. that's her main character energy. 💅

she lets you manage the entries of the Kiwix library, fr fr. and what even IS the library file? it's a flat XML file that lists ZIM files with all the necessary info — like id, favicon, date, creator, description, filepath, title, url, etc. all of it. she's thorough like that. no cap. ✨

---

👑 ACTIONS 👑

• add — Add ZIM_FILE to LIBRARY_FILE. and if the library file doesn't exist yet? she'll create it for you. queen behavior honestly. 🫶
• remove — Remove the given ZIM_ID from LIBRARY_FILE. bestie, you gotta give her at least one ZIM_ID — at least one should be specified. she can't delete a vibe she doesn't know about. 😭
• show — Show the given ZIM_ID from LIBRARY_FILE. and if you pass no ZIM_ID at all, she just shows you everything in LIBRARY_FILE. the whole thing. all contents. iconic. 🌈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

options that go with the add action 🌸

• --url=HTTP_URL — Set the ZIM online HTTP(S) URL 🌐
• --zimPathToSave=OTHER_FS_PATH — Set an arbitrary ZIM filesystem path — instead of the ZIM_PATH, basically. path swap. cute. 🎀

other options (these ones you use alone, okay? solo. no friends. 🙈) 🧚
