NAME

       2vcard - convert addressbooks to VCARD format

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       2vcard  is a little perl script to convert an addressbook to the popular VCARD file format.  Currently, 2vcard can convert addressbooks and
       alias files from the following formats: abook, eudora, juno, ldif, mutt, mh and pine.

       The VCARD format is used by gnomecard, for example, which, in turn is used by the balsa email client.

USAGE

       Per default, 2vcard reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Alternatively, the input- and output-files  can  be  specified  as  command-line
       options.

OPTIONS

       A summary of the options supported by 2vcard is included below.

       -F     print a list of the currently supported formats

       -f format
	      convert from format [ default: mutt ]

       -h     Show 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:
	      tr '^M' '
' < EudoraNicknames | 2vcard -f eudora > out

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

NAME

       dctrl2xml - Debian control data to XML converter

SYNOPSIS

       dctrl2xml [-x | -j] [-f FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       dctrl2xml is a tool that converts Debian control data into an XML representation. It can be used to convert data which is normally found in
       debian/control, .changes, .dsc, Packages, Sources, and similar files to XML.

       For most fields dctrl2xml just uses the field name as element name and the field data as element content. For other fields, such as package
       interrelationship  fields  (Depends,  Build-Depends,  etc.)  or the Files field in .changes or Sources files, dctrl2xml additionally parses
       their field data to represent it in a more fine-structured form.

OPTIONS

       For a full summary of options, run dctrl2xml --help.

       --version
	      Show dctrl2xml's version number.

       -h, --help
	      Show help about options.

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	      Read Debian control data from file FILE instead of standard input.  FILE can be either a plain text file or a  gzip,  bzip2  or  ZIP
	      file.

       -x, --xml
	      Output Debian control data as XML (default).

       -j, --json
	      Output Debian control data as JSON.

EXAMPLES

       dctrl2xml -f /var/lib/dpkg/available
	      Convert the whole dpkg(1) available file to XML and print it to standard output. This is a typical stress test for dctrl2xml.

       apt-cache show hello build-essential | dctrl2xml
	      Convert  the package records of the hello and build-essential packages to XML and print it to standard output. This is an example of
	      how dctrl2xml can be used in pipes where it reads the control data from standard input.

       apt-cache showsrc hello | dctrl2xml | xmllint --format -
	      This is similar to the above example, except that the xmllint(1) tool (which is in the libxml2-utils Debian package) is used to  re-
	      format  and  reindent dctrl2xml's output to make it more human readable and that the source package records of the hello package are
	      used.

       apt-cache showsrc hello | dctrl2xml -j
	      In this example hello's source package record is printed as JSON instead of XML.
