→Opening options
<small><small><small>There are two ways to give GRAMPS the name of the file to be opened:
* supply bare file name
* use the <pre>-O filename </pre> or <pre>--open=filename </pre> option</small></small></small>
-O, Open of a family tree. This can be done also by just typing the name (name or database dir)
python gramps.py 'Family Tree 1'
python gramps.py /home/cristina/.gramps/grampsdb/47320f3d
{{Man tip| Tip |If no option is given, just the file name, GRAMPS will ignore the rest of the command line arguments. Use the -O flag to open the file and do something with the data.}}
<small><small><small>The format can be specified with the <pre>-f format</pre> or <pre>--format=format</pre> option, immediately following the ''filename'' . If not specified, the guess will be attempted based on the ''filename'' .</small></small></small>
'{{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.}}
