→Command line reference
{{Man note| Note |GRAMPS was designed to be an interactive program. Therefore it uses graphical display and cannot run from the true non-graphical console. It would take an enormous amount of effort to enable it to run in a text-only terminal. This is why the set of command line options does not aim to completely get rid of dependency on the graphical display. Rather, it merely makes certain (typical) tasks more convenient. It also allows one to execute these tasks from the scripts. However, the graphical display must be accessible at all times!}}
{{Man tip| Tip | To summarize, the use of the command line options provides non-interactive behavior, but does not get rid of graphical display dependency. Take it or leave it!}}
=== Available options ===
The format can be specified with the ''-f format'' or ''--format=format'' option, immediately following the ''filename'' . If not specified, the guess will be attempted based on the ''filename'' .
'''{{Man tip| Tip:'''|Only grdb, gramps-xml, and gedcom formats can be opened directly. For other formats, you will need to use the import option which will set up the empty database and then import data into it.}}
