SYNOPSIS

imdb-get [options] [--imdb-id id] [-l id] [--search search string] [-s search string] [--filename filename] [-f filename] [-h ] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the imdb-get command.

imdb-get has three modes. It can be called with imdb ID and a set of details to print, in which case it will retrieve those details either from the cache or IMDB. Secondly, it can be called with a filename in which case it will look the file up in the cache (resolving symlinks as appropriate and checking for multiple disks from the same film) and if that fails it will use the filename to search IMDB. Alternatively it may be used with just a search string, which will always search IMDB.
