NAME
       msynctool - Command line interface for OpenSync

SYNTAX
       msynctool option [arguments] [option]
       msynctool --sync SYNC_GROUP

DESCRIPTION
       Command line interface for OpenSync
       You  can	 use  this  tool  to synchronize your devices and applications
       using the OpenSync framework from the command line.

       - First you have to create a SYNC_GROUP:

	      msynctool --addgroup evo2-sync

       - Now you have to add the members to this group. (2 at least)

       Note: The first argument to the --addmember command  is	the  group  to
       which  you want to add a member, the second argument is the name of the
       plugin to add.

	      msynctool --addmember evo2-sync evo2-sync

	      msynctool --addmember evo2-sync file-sync

       - The next thing you have to do is to configure the plugins.

	      msynctool --configure evo2-sync 1
	      (configures the first group member)

	      msynctool --configure evo2-sync 2
	      (configures the second group member)

       - Now your group is ready for usage!

	      msynctool --sync evo2-sync

OPTIONS
       --listgroups
	      Lists all groups

       --listplugins
	      Lists all plugins

       --listobjects
	      Lists all objtypes that the engine understands

	      objtypes: contact, data, event, note, todo

       --showformats objtype
	      Lists all formats that a objtype can have

       --showgroup groupname
	      Lists all members of the group

       --sync groupname
	      Sync all members in a group

       --filter-objtype objtype
	      Filter out objtype

	      For example, the following syncs only contacts:

	      msynctool --sync evo2-sync --filter-objtype event	 --filter-obj‐
	      type note --filter-objtype todo

       Note: if you use "--filter-objtype data" it syncs nothing !?

       --slow-sync objtype
	      Perform a slow-sync of all members in the group

       [--wait]
	      Don't  immediately  start to sync, but wait for a client to ini‐
	      tialize the sync

       [--multi]
	      Repeat to wait for sync alerts

       --addgroup groupname
	      Add a new group

       --delgroup groupname
	      Delete the given group

       --addmember groupname plugintype
	      Add a member to the group

       --configure groupname memberid
	      Configure a member. memberid as returned by --showgroup

       [--manual]
	      Make manual engine iterations. Only for debugging

       [--configdir]
	      Set a different configdir than ~/.opensync

       [--conflict 1-9/d/i/n]
	      Resolve all conflicts as side 1-9 wins,  duplicate,  ignore,  or
	      keep newer

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       OSYNC_TRACE
	      When you want to provide trace files please turn on tracing like
	      this:

	      export OSYNC_TRACE=/path/to/log/dir

	      When you run some opensync commands now, opensync will  generate
	      a couple of Thread*.log files in this directory.

	      You can exclude sensitive data in the trace files with:

	      export OSYNC_PRIVACY=1
