.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
To import three databases (whose formats can be determined from their names) and then check the resulting database for errors, one may type:
\fBgramps\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile1.ged\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile2.tgz\fR \fB\-i\fR \fI~/db3\fR \fB\-a\fR \fIcheck\fR
.TP
To explicitly specify the formats in the above example, append filenames with appropriate \fB\-f\fR options:
\fBgramps\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile1.ged\fR \fB\-f\fR \fIgedcom\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile2.tgz\fR \fB\-f\fR \fIgramps-pkg\fR \fB\-i\fR \fI~/dir3\fR \fB\-f\fR \fIgramps\fR \fB\-a\fR \fIcheck\fR
.TP
To record the database resulting from all imports, supply \fB\-o\fR flag (use \fB\-f\fR if the filename does not allow gramps to guess the format):
\fBgramps\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile1.ged\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile2.tgz\fR \fB\-o\fR \fI~/new-package\fR \fB\-f\fR \fIgramps-pkg\fR
.TP
To import three databases and start interactive gramps session with the result:
\fBgramps\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile1.ged\fR \fB\-i\fR \fIfile2.tgz\fR \fB\-i\fR \fI~/db3\fR
.TP
Finally, to start normal interactive session type:
\fBgramps\fR
.SH CONCEPTS
Supports a python\-based plugin system, allowing import and export writers,
report generators, tools, and display filters to be added without modification
