epub-tools

Synopsis

Command line utilities for working with epub files (Haskell)

Description

A suite of command-line utilities for creating and manipulating epub book files. Included are: epubmeta, epubname, epubzip. This software uses the epub-metadata library, also available on Hackage.

epubmeta

epubmeta is a command-line utility for examining and editing epub book metadata. With it you can export, import and edit the raw OPF Package XML document for a given book. Or simply dump the metadata to stdout for viewing in a friendly format.

Here's an example of epubmeta output:

$ epubmeta Kelly_Kessel_Lethem-NinetyPercentOfEverything.epub

epubname

epubname is a command-line utility for renaming epub ebook files based on their OPF Package metadata. It tries to use author names and title info to construct a sensible name.

Using it looks like this:

$ epubname poorly-named-book.epub

poorly-named-book.epub -> WattsPeter-Blindsight_2006.epub

$ epubname another-poorly-named-book.epub

another-poorly-named-book.epub -> Kelly_Kessel_Lethem-NinetyPercentOfEverything.epub

epubzip

epubzip is a handy utility for zipping up the files that comprise an epub into an .epub zip file. Using the same technology as epubname, it can try to make a meaningful filename for the book.

Getting source

And once you have it, building the usual way:

$ cabal configure --enable-tests
$ cabal build
$ cabal test
$ cabal install

Installing

Build and install with cabal-install: $ cabal update ; cabal install epub-tools
