calibredb: Search for just ids of e-books.
$ calibredb search ${search_term}
try on your machine

The command "calibredb search ${search_term}" is used in the Calibre software, which is an open-source ebook management tool.

The command allows you to perform a search within your Calibre library database for ebooks that match a specific search term.

Here's how it works:

  1. "calibredb" is the command used to interact with the calibre database. It is followed by the action "search" to indicate that you want to search for ebooks.

  2. "${search_term}" is a placeholder for the actual search term you want to use. You need to replace this placeholder with the term you want to search for, such as the title of a book, author name, ISBN, or any other relevant information.

Once you run this command with the appropriate search term, Calibre will search through its database and return a list of ebooks that match the search criteria. The results may include multiple ebooks if there are multiple matches.

This command is helpful in finding specific ebooks within your Calibre library based on different search parameters, making it easier to organize and locate your ebooks.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
