commands

The library might or might not be plugged into your favorite genealogical-application. But as long as you have your family data available in a gedcom file, you can always use the library on a command line.

The ovals in the diagram on the overview page represent the main classes of the library that can be executed form a command line. Below a partial example of such a command line. Replace the dots (...) with the files from the same diagram. Put the output file last; the order of rule files is significant: they may need the results of a previous one.

The downloads provide complete examples in their roots, the contents of the zip and the tar.gz are identical. The bat files are for Windows: simply double-click them. The sh files are for Mac/Unix: open a terminal, go to the directory with the unpacked sh files, assign execute rigths (chmod +x *.sh) and run a command (for example: ./convert.sh). On both platforms you can merge and adjust the files with a plain text editor. Thus you can configure the output you want with the input you have.
