.SH NAME
formats \- Internal formats database file for lltag




.SH DESCRIPTION
The internal format database is usually stored in
.IR /etc/lltag/formats .
The user may override this file by defining a
.IR $HOME/.lltag/formats .
If this file exists, the system-wide one is ignored.



These files contain entries starting with a line such as:

.I [%n - %a - %t]
.RS
A title between bracket that will be displayed at runtime.
.RE



Then, the following 3 lines must be given to explain how the format
is actually used to parse filenames:

.I type = basename
.RS
The type is either
.I basename
(to parse the last part of the path to a file)
or
.I path
(to parse the directory part of the path to a file).
When actually parsing the path to target files,
.I basename
and
.I path
parsers will be assembled.
All possible combination will be tried.
.RE



.I regexp = %L%N%S-%S%A%S-%S%A%L
.RS
A string composed of any characters, with the following special fields:

.I %L
for delimiter (empty by default, multiple spaces if
.I --spaces
was given)

.I %S
for a space (or multiple spaces if
.I --spaces
was given)

.I %N
for numbers

.I %A
for an alphanumeric string without /

.I %P
for any path (alphanumeric string with /)

.I %%
for %
.RE



.I indices = NUMBER,ARTIST,TITLE
.RS
A list of fields to match (either given by their full name or associated letter)
corresponding to each %N or %A field in the previous format.
It may be
.BR AUTHOR " (or " a "), "
.BR ALBUM " (" A "), "
.BR GENRE " (" g "), "
.BR NUMBER " (" n "), "
.BR TITLE " (" t "), "
.BR DATE " (" d "), "

See also
