38 The cidcall tool displays the cidcall.log file in one of three
39 different formats: raw, human readable and delimited.
40 The default is to display BLK, CID, HUP, MWI, OUT, PID, PUT, RID and
42 WID lines in a human readable format.
43 Options
45 -h, --help
46 Displays the help message and exits.
47 -m, --man
49 Displays the manual page and exits.
50 -D, --debug
52 Debug mode. Always enabled, reserved for future use.
53 -v, --verbose <1-9>
55 Output information while processing is occurring. Set the level
56 to a higher number for more information. Levels range from 1 to
57 9, but not all levels are used.
58 Default: verbose = 1
60 -V, --version
62 Displays the version and exits.
63 -f <0-2>, --format <0-2>
65 Determines the output format used.
66 Output format 0 displays the call log file as-is. All other
68 options are ignored.
69 Output format 1 displays the call log in human readable text.
71 Output format 2 displays the call log with field delimiters for
73 easy parsing by another program. Uses options -d|--delimiter
74 and -1|--strip-one.
75 The default output format is 1 (human readable).
77 -d <text>, --delimiter <text>
79 Used when output format is 2 (delimited). Fields will be
80 delimited by <text>.
81 For pipe-delimited output, surround the pipe symbol with single
83 or double quotes: '|' or "|".
84 For tab-delimited output, specify only the letter "t".
86 For comma-delimited output, fields containing an embedded comma
88 will automatically be surrounded by double-quotes.
89 Default delimiter is a comma (",").
91 -l, --list-years
93 Lists all the yearly call logs.
94 -1, --strip-one
96 Used when output format is 2 (delimited). If a number is exactly
97 11 digits and it begins with "1", strip the "1" before
98 outputting it. This is to facilitate consistent sorting of the
99 output for 10 digit numbers.
100 If the leading "1" is stripped, the "Exception" column will so
102 indicate.
103 -i, --lineid <text>
105 Output only those lines where the lineid matches <text>.
106 -a, --all-types
108 Equivalent to typing --BLK, --CID, --END, --HUP, --MSG, --MWI,
109 --NOT, --OUT, --PID, --PUT, --RID and --WID on the command line.
110 -B, --BLK
112 Displays BLK lines (blocked calls) in the call file.
113 -C, --CID
115 Displays CID lines (incoming calls) in the call file.
116 -E, --END
118 Displays END lines (gateway end of call) in the call file.
119 -H, --HUP
121 Displays HUP lines (terminated calls) in the call file.
122 -M, --MSG
124 Displays MSG lines (messages) in the call file.
125 --MWI Displays MWI lines (voicemail message waiting) in the call file.
127 Note: There is no short option for --MWI.
129 -N, --NOT
131 Displays NOT lines (smartphone note (message)) in the call file.
132 -O, --OUT
134 Displays OUT lines (outgoing calls) in the call file.
135 -P, --PID
137 Displays PID lines (smartphone Caller ID) in the call file.
138 -p, --PUT
140 Displays PID lines (smartphone outgoing calls) in the call file.
141 -R, --RID
143 Displays RID lines (ringback calls) in the call file.
144 -W, --WID
146 Displays WID lines ("call waiting" calls) in the call file.
147 -t, --thisyear
149 Obtains data from $HOME/NCID/log/cidcall-<thisyear>.log instead
150 of the default. This overrides a call log given on the command
151 line.
152 -y, --yearlog <4 digit year>
154 Obtains data from $HOME/NCID/log/cidcall-<year>.log instead of
155 the default. This overrides a call log given on the command
156 line.
157 Arguments
159 cidlog The NCID call file.
160 Default: /var/log/cidcall.log
162
164 Output as tab-delimited, changing 11-digit numbers beginning with "1"
165 to be 10-digits:
166 cidcall -f 2 -d t -1
167 Output as pipe-delimited, changing 11-digit numbers beginning with "1"
169 to be 10-digits, then sorting numerically on the phone number column:
170 cidcall -f 2 -d '|' -1 | sort -t '|' -k4,4 -n
