Name¶

stxdb — A/V file database

Syntax¶

stxdb [-MSWal] [-A dir] [-V volid] [-f file] [-o opt]

Options¶

The options may seem weird, because they are flags, not commands. This means that the order of execution is always "Load database", "Add directory", "Save database", "Show database". You just specify _which_ of these you want to run, and if it's all four.

-A dir

Directory which should be added to the database.

-M

Mount the directory given by -A before adding.

-S

Save the database. (Not specifying this would make for a dry run.)

-V volid

Tag the directory with volid in the database.

-W

Show database.

-a

Show only artists.

-f file

Use specified file as database.

-l

Show only albums.

-o opt

Set arbitrary option.

Examples¶

Examples for common operations:

Adding a CD to the database, using -M to make stxdb mount it:

	stxdb -A /mnt -MSV "Private Collection CD #34"

Adding a directory (w/o mount!):

	stxdb -A /bla/dir -SV "Private Collection CD #35"

Show database:

	stxdb -W

Rebuild database:

	stxdb -S
