NAME
kaddressbook - The KDE Address Book
SYNOPSIS
kaddressbook [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options]
DESCRIPTION
KAddressBook is the main address book application for KDE; it enables
you to manage your contacts efficiently and comfortably. Since it is
based on the kabc library it supports resources, which can be used to
load and save your contacts to many different locations -- not just the
local file system, but also to LDAP servers and SQL databases.
The user interface is similar to MS Outlook and it supports different
views to represent the contact data differently; it also provides an
incremental search over all fields and a jump button bar to quickly
access single entries. Since the underlying kabc library uses the
vCard format (specified in RFC 2426) as its default storage medium,
KAddressBook mainly reflects the supported entry fields in its graphical user interface.
