Gaby is a _small_ personal databases manager for Linux using GTK+
(http://www.gtk.org) and Gnome (if available, http://www.gnome.org) for
its GUI.
It was designed to provide straight-forward access to databases a 'normal'
user would like (addresses, books, ...) while keeping the ability to easily
create databases for other needs. On a technical side it was designed with
extensibility in mind and thus use relies a lot on plug-ins.
OPTIONS
These options can be supplied to the command:
"-a, --as " name
Starts Gaby using an alternative descfile (see below).
"--disable-other-windows"
Doesn't load additional windows defined in the descfile.
"--skip-startup-actions"
Doesn't launch startup actions (standard or defined in the descfile).
"-V, --version"
Displays the Gaby version number and compile-time definitions.
"-h, --help"
Displays a short help message
DESCFILES
Simply launching Gaby will put you in an addressbook but the title says that
Gaby is a personal databases manager, not an addressbook. Other kinds of
databases are defined in "descfiles" (short for description file) located in
the system configuration directory (usually /etc) or the user's Gaby directory
(~/.gaby).
There are two ways to use those files; you may use the --as option (as in
gaby --as gcd ) or you may create a symlink (as in
ln -s gaby /usr/bin/gaby ).
A complete documentation (including user, advanced user and developer guides)
should be available in /usr/doc/gaby/ (or where your particular distribution
puts docs).
There should also be a bunch of README files with useful informations.
and the website is located at http://gaby.sourceforge.net
