Launch the main \fBcalibre\fP Graphical User Interface and optionally add the e\-book at
path_to_ebook to the database. You can also specify \fBcalibre\fP URLs to perform various
different actions, than just adding books. For example:
.sp
\fBcalibre\fP://view\-book/test_library/1842/epub
.sp
Will open the book with id 1842 in the EPUB format from the library
\(dqtest_library\(dq in the \fBcalibre\fP E\-book viewer. Library names are the folder names of the
libraries with spaces replaced by underscores. A full description of the
various URL based actions is in the User Manual.
.sp
Whenever you pass arguments to \fBcalibre\fP that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: \(dq/some path/with spaces\(dq
