ROLO(1) General Commands Manual ROLO(1)

rolo — text-based contact management software

rolo [-r] [-f datafile]

rolo [-v]

rolo [-V]

Rolo keeps track of your contacts and display them to you with a text-based menu. Rolo strives to be a well-constructed tool for complimenting text-based email programs-such as mutt. It utilizes the vCard version 3.0 format for storing its contacts and it interfaces with the end-user through a NCurses front-end.

The options are as follows:

-r
Open the data file in read-only mode. This essentially disables adding, editing, and deleting contacts.
-f
Use the specified file as the data file.
-v
Display the version.
-V
Display the copyright and license.

ROLO_EDITOR
If ROLO_EDITOR is set, its value is used as the name of the program to invoke when displaying contact entries in advanced edit. If ROLO_EDITOR is not set, then EDITOR is used. If EDITOR is also not set, the default value of /usr/bin/editor is used.

~/.rolo/contacts.vcf
Default data file that rolo reads upon startup.
