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 \n < EudoraNicknames | 2vcard -f eudora > out

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