It's intended to be a lightweight relacement for +BBDB (The Insidious Big Brother Database). Unfortunately, it +currently doesn't support the all features of BBDB. + +.* Installation + +.. (a) run in expanded place + +If you don't want to install other directories, please do only +following: + + % make + +You can specify the emacs command name, for example + + % make install EMACS=xemacs + +If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used. + +.. (b) make install + +If you want to install other directories, please do following: + + % make install + +.. (c) install as a XEmacs package + +If you want to install to XEmacs package directory, please do +following: + + % make install-package + +.* MUA Specific Installation + +There are the convenient ways to get the LSDB functions insinuate into +some particular MUA. Only Semi-gnus and Wanderlust are currently +supported. + +If you use Semi-gnus or its variant, put the following lines into your +~/.gnus and you will get the functions in this package autoloaded. + +(autoload 'lsdb-gnus-insinuate "lsdb") +(autoload 'lsdb-gnus-insinuate-message "lsdb") +(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'lsdb-gnus-insinuate) +(add-hook 'message-setup-hook + (lambda () + (define-key message-mode-map "\M-\t" 'lsdb-complete-name))) + +If you use Wanderlust, put the following lines into your ~/.wl: +(require 'lsdb) +(lsdb-wl-insinuate) +(add-hook 'wl-draft-mode-hook + (lambda () + (define-key wl-draft-mode-map "\M-\t" 'lsdb-complete-name))) + +.* Bug reports +If you found bugs, please drop a note to the EMACS-MIME Mailing List: + + emacs-mime-en@m17n.org (English) + emacs-mime-ja@m17n.org (Japanese) + +.* API +The API are quite simple but not written in a way that maximizes +flexibility. + +.. Gathering Records +. : lsdb-update-records +lsdb-update-records is called from the buffer which contains raw +contents of MIME entity. Once it is called, it returns a list of +records which could be gathered from the buffer. + +.. Display Records +. : lsdb-display-record +lsdb-display-record takes only one record, pops up a window, and +displays the formatted contents of the record within the window. +If you want to multiple records such as search results at the same +time, use lsdb-display-records instead. + +.. Internal Data Model +. : lsdb-hash-table +lsdb-hash-table is the variable which holds all the records in LSDB. +We can operate on this variable in similar fashion to CL's hash-table. + +lsdb-puthash for puthash, lsdb-gethash to gethash, lsdh-maphash to +maphash are allowed to use. For example, you can write the following +expression to get the record for "Daiki Ueno": + +(lsdb-gethash "Daiki Ueno" lsdb-hash-table) + +=> + +((last-modified . "2002-04-23") + (creation-date .
