NAME
       llines - LifeLines genealogy program

SYNOPSIS
       llines [OPTION]...
       llines [OPTION]...Database

DESCRIPTION
       llines invokes the LifeLines genealogy program.

       For up to date documentation please refer to the Documentation section
       of this man page.

       LifeLines is a program to manipulate genealogical information in
       lineage-linked GEDCOM format. It has a curses interface, and a built-in
       interpreter for its own genealogical report language.

OPTIONS
       The following options are some of the options available for llines.

       -C     Specify configuration file location.

       -F     Finnish option (only available if compiled with Finnish flag)

       -I     Specify a user property (e.g. -ILLEDITOR=gvim)

       -a     Log dynamic memory operation (for debugging)

       -c     Supply cache values (eg, -ci400,4000f400,4000 sets direct indi &
              fam caches to 400, and indirect indi & fam caches to 4000)

       -d     Developmental/debug mode (signals are not caught)

       -f     Force open a database (only for use if reader/writer count is
              wrong)

       -i     Open database with immutable access (no protection against other
              access -- for use on read-only media)

       -k     Always show key values (normally key is not shown if a REFN is
              shown)

       -l     Lock (-ly) or unlock (-ln) a database for use with read only
              media (access to a locked database is treated as immutable)

       -n     Do not use traditional family rules

       -o     Specify program output filename (eg, -o/tmp/mytests)

       -r     Open database with read-only access (protect against other
              writer access)

       -uCOLS,ROWS
              Specify window size (eg, -u120,34 specifies 120 columns by 34
              rows)

       -w     Open database with writeable access (protecte against other
              reader or writer access)

       -x     Execute a single lifelines report program directly

       -z     Use normal ASCII characters for drawing lines in user interface
              rather than the vt100 special characters

       -?     Display options summary, (on UNIX or Linux use the -h option)

       llexec is a version of llines without the user interface for non-
       interactive processing of report programs. (Typically used with the -x
       option.)

       dbverify is a utility program to verify Lifelines databases.  For
       information about options, run dbverify with the -h option.

FILES
       /etc/lifelines.conf
       ~/.linesrc
       ~/lines.cfg
       ./linesrc
       ./lines.cfg
              Possible locations for Lifelines configuration file Lifelines
              looks for a configuration file for various settings. See section
              System And User Properties in the userguide for details.

DOCUMENTATION
       The LifeLines documentation should be installed as part of the
       installation, and may also be viewed at the project site:
       http://lifelines.sourceforge.net.  Look for ll-userguide and ll-
       reportmanual (with appropriate extensions for text, html and pdf
       formats).  The normal installation process includes a large number of
       sample report programs that you can customize to suit your needs.  In
       the directory containing these reports you should find a file named
       index.html which gives a very brief summary of each report.
