epub-tools Synopsis Command line utilities for working with epub files (Haskell) Description A suite of command-line utilities for creating and manipulating epub book files. Included are: epubmeta, epubname, epubzip. This software uses the epub-metadata library, also available on Hackage. epubmeta epubmeta is a command-line utility for examining and editing epub book metadata. With it you can export, import and edit the raw OPF Package XML document for a given book. Or simply dump the metadata to stdout for viewing in a friendly format. Here's an example of epubmeta output: $ epubmeta Kelly_Kessel_Lethem-NinetyPercentOfEverything.epub package version: 2.0 unique-identifier: calibre_id identifier id: calibre_id scheme: calibre text: b1026732-69a5-4a05-a8d9-a1701685f6fa identifier scheme: ISBN text: 1-590620-00-3 title: Ninety Percent of Everything language: en-us contributor text: calibre (0.5.1) [http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net] file-as: calibre role: bkp creator text: James Patrick Kelly file-as: Kelly, James Patrick role: aut creator text: John Kessel role: aut creator text: Jonathan Lethem role: aut date: 2001-03-25T00:00:00 publisher: www.Fictionwise.com subject: Science Fiction/Fantasy epubname epubname is a command-line utility for renaming epub ebook files based on their OPF Package metadata. It tries to use author names and title info to construct a sensible name. Using it looks like this: $ epubname poorly-named-book.epub poorly-named-book.epub -> WattsPeter-Blindsight_2006.epub $ epubname another-poorly-named-book.epub another-poorly-named-book.epub -> Kelly_Kessel_Lethem-NinetyPercentOfEverything.epub epubzip epubzip is a handy utility for zipping up the files that comprise an epub into an .epub zip file. Using the same technology as epubname, it can try to make a meaningful filename for the book.
