== Available Gramps options ==
This section provides the reference list of all command line options available in Gramps. If you want to know more than just a list of options, see next sections: [[Gramps-command line#Operation|Operation]] and [[Gramps-command line#Examples| Examples]]. The summary below is printed by gramps -h.
Usage: gramps.py [OPTION...]
{{man tip|1=Listing report options |2=Use the <tt>''name=timeline,show=all''</tt> to find out about all available options for the timeline report. To find out details of a particular option, use <tt>''show=option_name''</tt> , e.g. <tt>''name=timeline,show=off''</tt> string. To learn about available report names, use <tt>''name=show''</tt> string.}}
*To convert a grdb the bsddb database on the fly to a .gramps xml file:
:<pre>gramps -O 'Family Tree 1' -e output.gramps -f gramps-xml</pre>
* '''GRAMPSHOME''' - if set, override default path to profile allowing user to use ex. network drive to store data and all settings. For technically advanced users who run multiple versions of Gramps, setting a different $GRAMPSHOME is a way to avoid interference between the different versions in the Gramps user directory.
* '''LANG''' - is used by Gramps to determine which language file should be loaded.
 
{{man note|MacOSX|Because of the way launching with Finder works, the environment variables for the Gramps.app bundle are hard-coded in Gramps.app/Contents/MacOS/Gramps. If for some reason you need to change them, edit that file with TextEdit; be sure to save it back as plain text. See as well [[Run_GRAMPS_in_another_locale#Change_Mac_OS_X_application_defaults|setting locale]] for an alternative to using the '''LANG''' and '''LANGUAGE''' environment variables.}}
