NAME

calibre-debug - calibre-debug
 
calibre-debug [options]


 
Various command line interfaces useful for debugging calibre. With no options, this command starts an embedded Python interpreter. You can also run the main calibre GUI, the calibre E-book viewer and the calibre editor in debug mode.
 
It also contains interfaces to various bits of calibre that do not have dedicated command line tools, such as font subsetting, the E-book diff tool and so on.
 
You can also use calibre-debug to run standalone scripts. To do that use it like this:
calibre-debug -e myscript.py -- --option1 --option2 file1 file2 ...


 
Everything after the -- is passed to the script. You can also use calibre-debug as a shebang in scripts, like this:
#!/usr/bin/env -S calibre-debug -e -- --


 
Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-debug that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"

[OPTIONS]

--add-simple-plugin
Add a simple plugin (i.e. a plugin that consists of only a .py file), by specifying the path to the py file containing the plugin code.

--command, -c
Run Python code.

--debug-device-driver, -d
Debug device detection

--default-programs
(Un)register calibre from Windows Default Programs. --default-programs = (register|unregister)

--diff
Run the calibre diff tool. For example: calibre-debug --diff file1 file2

--edit-book

--exec-file, -e
Run the Python code in file.

--explode-book, -x
Explode the book into the specified folder. Usage: -x file.epub output_dir Exports the book as a collection of HTML files and metadata, which you can edit using standard HTML editing tools. Works with EPUB, AZW3, HTMLZ and DOCX files.

--export-all-calibre-data
Export all calibre data (books/settings/plugins). Normally, you will be asked for the export folder and the libraries to export. You can also specify them as command line arguments to skip the questions. Use absolute paths for the export folder and libraries. The special keyword "all" can be used to export all libraries. Examples: calibre-debug --export-all-calibre-data # for interactive use calibre-debug --export-all-calibre-data /path/to/empty/export/folder /path/to/library/folder1 /path/to/library2 calibre-debug --export-all-calibre-data /export/folder all # export all known libraries

--fix-multiprocessing
For internal use

--gui, -g
Run the GUI with debugging enabled. Debug output is printed to stdout and stderr.

--implode-book, -i

--run-without-debug
Don't run with the DEBUG flag set

--shutdown-running-calibre, -s
Cause a running calibre instance, if any, to be shutdown. Note that if there are running jobs, they will be silently aborted, so use with care.
