NAME

org-to-vcf - Export contacts in Org document to VCF (vCard addressbook)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.09 of org-to-vcf (from Perl distribution Org-To-VCF), released on 2017-07-10.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

 % org-to-vcf [options]

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--default-country=s

Specify default country code.

Free-form phone numbers on phone fields are formatted by this function, e.g. `081 123 4567` becomes `0811234567`. If default country is specified (e.g. "ID"), the number will be formatted as `+62811234567`. Setting this option is recommended so the phone numbers are nicely formatted as international number.

--exclude-tags-json=s

Exclude trees that carry one of these tags (JSON-encoded).

See --exclude-tags.

--exclude-tags=s@

Exclude trees that carry one of these tags.

If the whole document doesn't have any of these tags, then the whole document will be exported. Otherwise, trees that do not carry one of these tags will be excluded. If a selected tree is a subtree, the heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export, but not the text below those headings.

exclude_tags is evaluated after include_tags.

Can be specified multiple times.

--include-tags-json=s

Include trees that carry one of these tags (JSON-encoded).

See --include-tags.

--include-tags=s@

Include trees that carry one of these tags.

Works like Org's 'org-export-select-tags' variable. If the whole document doesn't have any of these tags, then the whole document will be exported. Otherwise, trees that do not carry one of these tags will be excluded. If a selected tree is a subtree, the heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export, but not the text below those headings.

Can be specified multiple times.

--no-export-notes

--source-file=s

Source Org file to export.

--source-str=s

Alternatively you can specify Org string directly.

--target-file=s

VCF file to write to.

If not specified, VCF output string will be returned instead.

Configuration options

--config-path=filename

Set path to configuration file.

Can be specified multiple times.

--config-profile=s

Set configuration profile to use.

--no-config

Do not use any configuration file.

Environment options

--no-env: Do not read environment for default options.

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

 undef

--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

    [200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

    [1,2,3]

Other options

--help, -h, -?: Display help message and exit.
--version, -v: Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

 complete -C org-to-vcf org-to-vcf

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

 complete org-to-vcf 'p/*/`org-to-vcf`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

CONFIGURATION FILE

This script can read configuration files. Configuration files are in the format of IOD, which is basically INI with some extra features.

By default, these names are searched for configuration filenames (can be changed using --config-path): ~/.config/org-to-vcf.conf, ~/org-to-vcf.conf, or /etc/org-to-vcf.conf.

All found files will be read and merged.

To disable searching for configuration files, pass --no-config.

You can put multiple profiles in a single file by using section names like [profile=SOMENAME] or [SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME]. Those sections will only be read if you specify the matching --config-profile SOMENAME.

You can also put configuration for multiple programs inside a single file, and use filter program=NAME in section names, e.g. [program=NAME ...] or [SOMESECTION program=NAME]. The section will then only be used when the reading program matches.

Finally, you can filter a section by environment variable using the filter env=CONDITION in section names. For example if you only want a section to be read if a certain environment variable is true: [env=SOMEVAR ...] or [SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable has value equals something: [env=HOSTNAME=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable does not equal something: [env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when an environment variable contains something: [env=HOSTNAME*=server ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]. Note that currently due to simplistic parsing, there must not be any whitespace in the value being compared because it marks the beginning of a new section filter or section name.

 default_country (see --default-country)
