Filters
-------
Filters can be used to restrict the set of items which are loaded from the
appointments file when using calcurse in non-interactive mode. The following
filters are currently supported:
*--filter-type* <type>::
Ignore any items that do not match the type mask. The type mask is a
comma-separated list of valid type descriptions which include 'event', 'apt',
'recur-event', 'recur-apt' and 'todo'. You can also use 'recur' as a
shorthand for 'recur-event,recur-apt' and 'cal' as a shorthand for
'event,apt,recur'.
*--filter-pattern* <pattern>::
Ignore any items with a description that does not match the pattern. The
pattern is interpreted as extended regular expression.
*--filter-start-from* <date>::
Ignore any items that start before a given date.
*--filter-start-to* <date>::
Ignore any items that start after a given date.
*--filter-start-after* <date>::
Only include items that start after a given date.
*--filter-start-before* <date>::
Only include items that start before a given date.
*--filter-start-range* <range>::
Only include items with a start date that falls within a given range. A range
consists of a start date and an end date, separated by a comma.
*--filter-end-from* <date>::
Ignore any items that end before a given date.
*--filter-end-to* <date>::
Ignore any items that end after a given date.
*--filter-end-after* <date>::
Only include items that end after a given date.
*--filter-end-before* <date>::
Only include items that end before a given date.
*--filter-end-range* <range>::
Only include items with an end date that falls within a given range. A range
consists of a start date and an end date, separated by a comma.
*--filter-priority* <priority>::
Only include items with a given priority.
*--filter-completed*::
Only include completed TODO items.
*--filter-uncompleted*::
Only include uncompleted TODO items.
