Terminal arguments to place after the name of the program

Calcure can be started in special mods using the following user arguments:

Short arguments

-j · Start on the journal page

-i · Start using Persian calendar

-h · Start on the help page

-p · Start in the privacy mode (text is obfuscated as •••••)

-v · Print the version and exit

Long arguments

--task="My new task" - Add a new task without running the program.

--event="2022-06-10-My new event" - Add a new event without running the program.

--folder=FOLDERNAME - Use datafiles (events and tasks) stored in a specific folder. For example, if you want to have separate databases for work and for personal things, you can start as: calcure --folder=$HOME/.calcure/work or calcure --folder=$HOME/.calcure/personal The same effect can also be achieved with the --config argument, as explained below.

--config=CONFIGFILE.ini - Use specific config file instead of the default one. For example, if you want to separate not only datafiles, like in the previous example, but other settings too, you can run the program with alternative config as:

calcure --config=$HOME/.config/calcure/config2.ini

If the specified config file does not exist, it will be created with default settings.
