#+TITLE: CLark
* Name
clark - collect bookmarks on your command-line
* Synopsis
=clark= <command> [<args> ...]
* Description
CLark is a bookmark collection application for the command-line. It
is a drag being dependant on your browser or an internet connection
to be able to collect, manage and look through your bookmarks, so
we're breaking free... slowly.
** CLark?! What the ...?
I've been working on this program for a long time, though not very
intensely, and it's gone through a few names.
At first I absolutely wanted to write it in C, and I named it
=linkwave=. I made a little program that could store given URLs with
names and descriptions, but not much else than that.
Then I started messing around with Lisp and some of its
derivatives, such as chicken scheme. And then I thought it would be
much cooler to (re)write this in scheme! I named it =markam=, because
Markam collects books.
Now, I'm thinking that it would be much cooler _still_ to write the
thing in Common Lisp! So I name it CLark, because it is Common
Lisp, and a rewrite of mARKam.
* Commands
- =help= :: Prints a usage and help message, showing a list of
possible commands and some hints on how to use them.
- =version= :: Prints the CLark version and then quits.
- =add= :: Add a new bookmark to the database.
- =search= :: Search through the database looking for a partial match
on its name or an exact-matching tag.
