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
