.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B buku
|
|
.I OPTIONS
|
|
.RI [ URL ]
|
|
.RI [ TAGS ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B buku
|
|
is a command line tool to save and search bookmarks.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The SQLite3 database file is stored in $HOME/.cache/bookmarks.db for each user.
|
|
.SH OPERATIONAL NOTES
|
|
URL must precede the tags. Manual title with multiple keywords must be within quotes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It's advisable to copy URLs directly from the browser address bar, i.e., along with the leading 'http://' or 'https://' token. buku looks up title data (found within <title></title> tags of HTML) from the web ONLY for fully-formed HTTP(S) URLs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the URL contains characters like ';', '&' or brackets they may be interpreted specially by the shell. To avoid it, add the URL within single ''' or double '"' qoutes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The same URL cannot be added twice. You can update tags and re-fetch title data. You can also delete it and insert at the same index.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can either add or update or delete record(s) in one instance. A combination of these operations is not supported in a single run.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Search works in mysterious ways:
|
|
- Substrings match ('match' matches 'rematched') for URL, tags and title.
|
|
- All the keywords are treated together as a 'single' tag in the 'same order'. Bookmarks with partial or complete tag matches are shown in results.
|
|
- '-s' : match any of the keywords in URL or title. Order is irrelevant.
|
|
- '-S' : match all the keywords in URL or title. Order is irrelevant.
|
|
- Search results are indexed serially. This index is different from actual database index of a bookmark reord which is shown within '()' after the URL.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Encryption support is manual. Database file should be unlocked ('-k') before using buku and locked ('-l') afterwards. Note that the database file is unecrypted on creation. AES256 is used for encryption. Optionally specify ('-t') the number of hash iterations to use to generate key. Default is 8 iterations.
